What Is Love? Poem by Pasomi Mucha

Love.

What is it?

Is it subtle-fingered feelings,
playing chords on the cords of the heart?

Is it a billowing bubble that fills the chest,
bursting forth in a flood of feeling?

Is it a saccharine soul-sweetening,
that sugars the heart and mind?

Is it a twining of hearts and minds,
that dance in tandem?

Is it a glow of the heart,
in which the beloved may bask?

Is it a prospecting tool,
That locks down on one person,
excluding all others?

Really, what is Love?
