Love Is….. (Poem Challenge)

Love is…..

More than a four letter word
it is a verb
its how you act
its what you do
its saying sorry just because….
Baby I heart you

Love is throwing away like
and replacing it with the real
not being afraid of what you feel
Love is waiting on “Him”
to seal the deal
it is never wanting
to say goodbye
wanting to cry
just because you feel so blessed
asking the man above
if this is just a test
love is loving me at my best
and at my worst
it is loving myself
and knowing my worth

Love is remembering
the dimples in her smile
she’d laugh so hard it hurt
Love is never wanting to see her hurt
wishing everyone I knew met her
before she past (Grammy I miss u)
wishing the time would last
wondering where everyone went so fast…

Love is not a clash of two lives
but the homogenizing into one heart
love fills up every part
jumpstarts passion to adoration to bliss
to you can’t really pinpoint what this is
but it feels so good
you want to linger in this….

Love is feeling
her tiny fingers on my face
Amazed
looking at her in disbelief
in awe of what God has given me
my mini me
and she mimics me
in the best of ways
makes every day
worth living for…

Love is knowing his flaws and
loving him that much more
feeling adored
Love is opening the door
and knowing he will come back to me
for love brings him back to me
Love is doing nothing
and feeling like you have everything

Love knows forgiveness
but has a mistress named lust
love is uninhibited
unrestricted
yet still requires your trust
love is sometimes un-reciprocated
anticipated unadulterated
sometimes we hate it
it holds no promises
and is uncontrolled
but what a lovely thing
when we let go
and let love show us the way
love is when seeing each other
is the highlight of your day
because he makes everything ok
it is tangled and muddled
but within the huddle
and amongst the shuffle
through all the trouble
there is love
and that makes it all go round
turns meaningless life around
makes it all worthwhile
could be the simple
love of a child
or of a lover
a sister
a mother
there is no recipe or equation
no medical evaluation
no scientific proof
it actually exists
it just is

Love is…..

  1. Love is…
    An unseen force
    Driving us
    Into the abyss, of euphoria
    Unconditional
    Is what true love really is
    Inexplicable
    But I’ll do my best
    To share with you this test
    Of endurance and trust
    Cause I’m in it for the long haul
    Love is…
    Never holding a grudge
    Or a record of doing wrong
    It is kind and patient
    With open arms of communication
    Love is…
    Never letting you fall…

  2. A continuation of;
    True Love ( the response above)
    By:Adith Torres AKA (Natural Diva)

    Because…
    True love never fails
    It can only prevail
    When all else seems lost
    But I have no worries, ’cause
    My heart, my life, my soul
    Has been elevated
    A sense of elation
    Takes over all control
    I thought I had, until now
    You see,
    Letting go
    was the hardest part, of the introduction of we.

  3. Love is joy
    Love is pain
    Love is sunshine after the rain
    Love is me
    Love is you
    Love is everything true lovers do
    Love is pure
    Love is kind
    Love is emotional
    Love hurts sometimes
    Love is strong
    Love is sweet
    Real Love is never forgotten
    love makes me complete

  4. tina you have nice poems, but you are missing somthing in your life. you sure you are in love???

    ‘Love Is…’

    Love Is…
    The absolute Worst thing that can happen to you…
    At the best time.

    It’s not what you want…
    But its what you Need.
    The seed that supercedes your greed and lust for the lush drinking waters of the flesh and menial.

    The seeming systemic breakdown and unraveling of your once poised, cool demeanor… Reducing you to a geeking, gibberish speaking, tweaking in the absence of the one for whom your heart burns eternal.

    Love, Is…
    The absolute Worst thing that can happen to you…
    At the best time.

    At least, in my mind.
    Apparently a divine intervention of cosmic intention and catastrophic rendition; rendering your regular routine awry, as you are now the fall gal or guy subject to the whims of your new puppet master.
    Puppy dog glances and heart pumping faster, adrenal glands overproducing leaving a confusing yet musingly delightful feeling after.

    And even ‘After… Laughter… Tears…’
    May remain, but do not come in vain; better yet, they explain, why

    Love, Is…
    The absolute Worst thing that can happen to you…
    At the best time.

    See, God doesn’t make mistakes.
    So He takes care to create the mate for the soul He placed in the hole of clay He molded that became…
    You.

    And now You depart… Searching and seeking the one to fit the hole in your heart, inexplicably drawn like lovers crossed on star charts.

    But no astrology could ever fully explain the anomolies ever present, when love springs effervescent, and announces its heavy presence into the life you’ve become a tenent of.

    And throws you.
    Shows you.
    And grows you.

    Into we.
    I into she.
    She into me.

    For now, we can see.
    That

    Love, Is…
    The absolute Worst thing that can happen to you…

    At the best time.

  6. Love Is

    Love is supposed to be unconditional,
    We could share each other’s happiness,
    And comfort each other when sad,
    That we met we’d both be glad.

    Happiness is so easily shared,
    That time is so care free,
    And filled with joy that almost can’t be contained,
    So joyful that from screaming we both can’t refrain.

    Let the sad times hit now,
    When your mind starts to stress,
    Or is filled with pain,
    Sanity we could help each other maintain.

    Whether we scream uncontrollably,
    Or feel pain to the point of losing our minds,
    Love is supposed to be unconditional,
    We’re supposed to support each other at happy & sad times.

  7. Love is… everything I imagine…

    I imagine… a special weekend, I’ve planned jus 4 u…
    never the same ol’ routine, I always come with sumthin’ new.

    I imagine… being anxious, with a smile upon my face…
    a special token of my affection, seal with the warmest embrace.

    I imagine… holding your hand, as I open and close your door…
    I lean in with a soft, gentle kiss, shadowed by many more.

    I imagine… dinner with wine and candles, a stroll at sunset…
    captivated by each other, on all else we soon forget.

    I imagine… the glow of your skin, the beauty and grace of your stride…
    hoping when we get back to my crib, you like my sheets, I just washed in tide.

    I imagine… us getting lost in each other’s passion… no thought of time, no thought of the place.
    I close my eyes to the vision, as we become one and the look upon your face.

    I imagine… Monday comes, it’s time 4 work, I awake you with a kiss…
    we rush to get ready for the daily grind, still caught up in a lover’s bliss.

    I imagine… you waving to me, as you leave and walk away, our weekend has come to an end.
    I whisper a prayer, asking my Heavenly Father to keep you safe… ’til I see you once again.

    I imagine… (love is) next weekend!

  8. Love is……

    What is Love but the most powerful of feelings

    An intense emotion that excites and brings meaning.

    It captures your heart, your mind and your brain

    and has you doing things that are even insane.

    Love wraps you up, rolls you around

    pleasing and teasing with a passionate sound.

    Heard all around you that says “I feel great!”

    In a state on elation that not everyone can relate.

    Because Love is about you and the one you Love.

    That person, place or thing that seem sent from above.

    Capturing your soul, filling it with a sense

    That all that you’ve desired is there for you hence.

    But as Love can be kind, it can also be cruel

    driving you to do things like only a fool.

    And Love is a cruel mistress that will dishearten you

    when the person you Love , does not Love you.

    But, Love…Ah Love, we Love and make Love

    Openly, passionately, freely with our heart and soul.

    Because Love touches us in a way we behold

    what’s special and right and true to ourselves

    Giving us Joy and Delight

    Excitement and Fright

    Heartfelt Warmth and Care

    and a chance to be aware

    that we are special and we want to share ourselves too

    with the one that we Love

    The one that completes YOU.

  9. Love Thy Self

    It has been said that if you love something or
    Someone sincerely it will reveal itself to you…
    Love thy self so that you may know thyself
    It is to be completely honest with your intentions
    There is a great secret that lies within us all..
    Since our thoughts create our realities..
    Love thy self because thyself is Love..
    Love thy self unconditionally and accept
    Where you’ve been where your at and
    Where you are going….
    It has also been said that love is the highest
    Level of over standing and true love
    Is available to all in the winter, spring,
    Summer and fall….Love thyself not for
    Who you think you are but love thyself
    So that you may know who you are!

    Big Brotha Almighty

  10. Love is not what we think it is….
    …it is not a valentine in a heart shaped envelope…
    …what is that shape anyway….
    ….love isn’t easter bunnie’s in baskets passing chocolate candy eggs to little girl’s in pretty pink dresses….
    ..love isn’t a color…
    …it isn’t a raindance that creates thunder, it isn’t a practice that you start and there are no malpractice suits….
    ….love isn’t a train traveling across ocean waves, it isn’t a sprinkle of fire from the sun on your shoulder…
    …it isn’t a poem with violets and roses….
    …..love isn’t the ash from the cigarettes smoked after sex…
    ….it isn’t wetted sheets, erect penises and dripping vagina’s…..
    ….love isn’t a course entered with false reasoning…
    ….love is not what we think it is….

    …it is a molecule….
    ..undetectable until completely penetrated, love is a ghost of satisfied wants craving personal attention in the range of affection from one person…..
    …love isn’t a ménage trois under bridges in cars…..
    …in the dark…
    …love lights rooms like an angel glow…
    ….love is a halo hanging over a frogs head….
    ….love isn’t a math problem…
    …you don’t subtract it….and though you think it multiplies, that would mean it could be divided and love….
    ….doesnt dabble in division
    ….love is vision…it isn’t blind
    It is sight
    It is a whisper in a foreign language while laying underneath a prom of stars…..
    ….courtesy of a gondola
    ….but love isn’t italy
    ….it isn’t horns blowing melodies that activate hormones
    ….love is nutritious
    But love isn’t a carrot
    ….it can’t be bought and placed on a certain finger, on a certain hand, in a certain way….
    …love isn’t the knee of a pair of dress pants kissing the carpet, love
    …..isn’t the first breakfast after the honeymoon
    ….love flies
    ….it soars like sparrow wings, it doesn’t fall like eagle feathers
    ….love is not what we think it is….
    ..love isn’t I love you….
    ..and it isn’t I love you too….
    And it ain’t te amo mi amore
    …love is a whore’s first cry after seeing her reflection for the first time….
    ….love is crying uncontrollably on the abortion table….
    ….love is selfish in its presence….
    And Love is late….
    …..but love is beautiful….
    ….and it ain’t kool aid skies or chocolate fondue nights….
    ….it isn’t white fences…
    Or brown fences
    Love
    Is a garden….it grows….but it can’t be picked…
    It’s green….but it can’t be eaten
    It’s leafy….but it without its roots love dies out…
    Love is a drought following flooding rainstorm…
    ….love is confusing
    …abusive….
    ….enticing….
    Fascinating ….convenient ….
    ….it is the possible impossibility
    It is the seek and find…..
    ….the praying kind….the gateway to the wiz…
    Love is the air beneath your skin…it is snowflakes on your tongue…
    ….grass under your toes….
    Blows of your hair in the wind…
    Love is not what we think it is.

  11. Love is much like a war, demanding strategies, comes with deception and lead to destruction. This link materialized by thoughts and feelings. You hope will never break. But, its all just an illusion manifested by two. And, another way of participating in this game called life. Two coming together to make impressions, intensified by lovemaking. But “I LOVE YOU” are just three words complimenting your emotions. Elaborated through symbolic gestures to give it meaning. Love lies dormant waiting to catch you slipping by the subject matter that comes out your lovers mouth. Developing thoughts, ideas, and feelings around this so called expression of love. Shit…love will have you transforming your opinions, beliefs and ideology trying to maintain the release of endorphins…becoming addiction. Let’s not mention the things you begin to ignore and settle for. The sacrifices made, the deams share, the fantasies, and the fear of being apart. Its a demon in disgusie (love) even for the wise and strong. A two headed monster preying, releasing its spell taking over your power with three fuckin words “I LOVE YOU”. And, when you have subcumb to its power it curses you, hurts you and wounds you just like in a battle. What once felt like two rhythms of two synchronized hearts… is replaced with repulsion, distrust, disloyalty, disrespect and a breaking heart. Tantalized by those three words “I LOVE YOU”. You fight losing the rites to your very own heart, because a complication of what to do, that plunges into vegeance to protect your broken heart. A once thought companion becomes your worse enemy. What you thought was once pure turns into the enemy ripping at your vulnerabilities. The forces that once linked you together becomes a thin line between LOVE and HATE. Mean-sprited attackes made to triumph over a broken- heart. Misery stimulated by the passion to obtain victory and deliverance from the power of the three words ” I LOVE YOU”. For what? Really? Words that only have meaning and given power by thoughts. Then, I throw in the towel! I want no part…you can no longer have my heart!

  12. Love is

    A feeling with no need for explanation
    Without your physical
    The love just is
    Your presence by me
    Your emotions within me
    All that makes you love
    Love which is you
    Your love just is
    Even when you are not there
    I feel your love through the air
    Like oxygen that can’t be seen
    your love allows me to breath
    Your love just is
    -RJames

  13. Love is…..

    Quick with no warning
    No time yet timeless
    Its a feeling like no other
    When the world around
    seems to not exist without you
    even at times of disrespect
    your evilness still is a loving weakness
    Your love is……..

    Being cursed and still feel loved
    Being honest yet its purely out of love
    Being yelled at yet I know where
    your love is at
    Being gentle when others
    are most critical
    Feeling most wealthy yet
    not having a dime to spare
    Feeling your smile
    even when your not there
    Your love is.
    -RJames

  14. Love is having joy in your heart, for your children, your spouse, and those around you. As I have joy in my heart for you my daughter. Lots of xoxoxoxox

  15. Love is…spending time doing nothing, yet feeling like you’re on the ride of your life

    Love is…holding my hand and not wanting to let go

    Love is…telling me how you feel without ever opening your mouth

    Love is…meeding me and wanting me so bad that it hurts

    Love is…gasping for breath as I think about you

    Love is…the feel and taste of your kiss

    Love is…endless chatter about whatever comes to mind

    Love is…missing you so bad that everything I see becomes you

    Love is…a loosened tie and an itchy beard

    Love is…light brown eyes

    Love is…pearly white teeth and a kool-aid smile

    Love is…our music

    Love is…YOU

    Love is…ME

    Love is…US

  16. Love is…

    The changing leaves and cool streams,

    in the heat of the summer, without

    the cool breeze. Like eggs frying

    out on the concrete, the heat wave

    that gets your skin, sticky sweet. Like

    the ice-e cups, for sale down the street,

    right by the Dairy Queen, enticing you to

    come beat the heat. It’s that cool breeze,

    that shivers your teeth, that fire place, blazin

    between the sheets. It’s these random thoughts

    of how things could be, those everlasting

    moments between you and me

    Love is…

  17. Love can be as soft as silence
    Yet as bold as a Arctic wind

    Love can be pure bliss
    That’s feels so good you thinks it’s a sin.

    Love can make you justify lustin.
    Love can give you mush more than you ever could dream,
    Love superseded material things.
    Love is making pancakes in a heart shape no matter how much you think that’s for flakes. Love gives you a fuel that can take you to the moon.
    Love is staring in the eyes of your groom while pouring out your heart and knowing that you trust him with holding it close for the rest of your lives without ripping it apart.
    Love is 1 becoming 2.
    Love is walking while your love leads because you know God blessed the seeds from which that love grew and only God loves you more than he do.
    Love is knowing that you can do many things for your self but understanding that you still can except his help.
    Love is messaging his feet until he falls asleep.
    Love is him expressing his love to you so thoroughly you can’t even speak.
    Love will make you lick the bottom of the glass or smack *ahem*
    Love is a endless amount of things…
    That I’m blessed enough to spend the rest of my life experiencing with you.

    My love
