The Word Is Love

http://melissacamarawilkins.com/blog/2011/07/22/six-word-fridays-love/




Magical words were written about love.
Love is it's own special place.
Love is intense in it's emotion.
It courts us and sweeps us
off our feet into a storm
of a tornado in our minds.
I confess that love is everything,
love is my religion, my  world.
Boys I love more than life,
they are my universe, my everything.
Love is the words we speak,
love dances in our four walls.
Loves whispers in the morning leaves,
love screams with red fire passion.
Love, not easy it needs attention,
to stay alive, to allow growth.
Love is not perfect but beautiful.
He knows me like the tides,
the fire burns in my eyes.
He makes me sane and insane.
I confess that love is everything,
it's the kaleidoscope of our life.
