What Is Love? Poem by lalitha iyer

LOve is affection
when your mum harbours it,
Love is Romance
when your date lusts after it,
Love is duty
when your wife cares for you
Love is a new World
when your child hugs you around
Love is a fashion
when you are in your teens
Love is a passion
when you dance in the ball
Love is a touch of feather
when your dying grandpa
wishes you all that is best
Love is a continuation
when you ache for your children
when they fail to reach
the grades that you preach
Love is absolutely life
when at oldage
you smell it from
unknown hands
strengthening the walk
by the touch of magic
and support to the physic.
Love is the final urge
urge in the last prayer
of a sinking soul
desperate and dissolute.
