What Is Love? Poem by dave lessard

What is love?

It's the closeness of two people,
the sound of your sweet voice;
wanting to get married,
to the person of your choice.
It's two hearts that beat as one,
your arms entwined in mine;
the touch of tender hands,
the way your eyes do shine.
It's two minds that work as one,
doing little things for you;
like your early morning coffee,
giving joy when you are blue.
It's two souls that meet as one,
sharing peace at varied times;
being silly... being playful,
writing funny, love-filled rhymes.
It's the connection of two people,
it's the closeness of your being;
even when we're far apart,
that my empty eyes keep seeing.

That's love.
