The colour of love



Love is practically bumpy
Kindness shows and sacrificially serves
Worrying, yet prudentially expressed
Life in its real mortal essence
More than names or tags
Love is delightful twist of life.
 
Love is ecstatic, yet ample in sting
Comforting and satisfactory to give
Weighty, not of measure
Brutally flamed, yet most desirable
Expressed in value relieving in words
Love is measure but not of scale

Love is working the purest of acts,
The salting of mortality
The touching of souls
The melting of hearts
The Snowing of duties
Love is the blossom of life.

    Love truly encompasses so much in our lives and is multifaceted in its expressions. It is both uplifting and challenging, yet it remains an essential aspect of the human experience.
