Love

Love is not black and white
It is laughter and pain
It is tears and joy
It is red and blue
It is up and back
It is down and smiles
It is dark and light
It is wrong and right
It is him
It is her
It is neither

It hurts
It massages
It drowns
It lifts
It hits
It tickles
It burns
It soothes
It cuts
It smooths
It loves
It hates

It is not what you think
It is not what you expect
It is not how it looks
It is not how it feels
It is not what it is

It is everything
It is all encompassing
It is every emotion
It requires deep devotion
It is energy draining
It gives life new meaning
It is what you make it
It is love...        pure...     and naked
