Love ~ 07/21/1995 Poem by Loretta Rowley

This was the first poem I ever wrote. I was only thirteen and this was a new way to express myself.

Love is like the ocean, it’s pure like the salts and minerals within.
When a heart is broken all is calm in the depths of it.
Love is like the sky, You can see it go on and on.
But, like the sky, love can seem dark and gloomy at times.
Unlike the oceans and the skies you can’t see love, but you can feel it.
You feel it within your heart, where at the depths are love, joy and happiness.
Love is a thirst in your soul that is quenching.
You want more until that quench is gone.
Love is like the tides of the ocean.
It’s like the clouds that drift slowly in the sky.
Love is deep in the heart and is that of your soul that is quenching
