Love is not a shade of skin, <br />Nor can it ever be a sin, <br />It has no form nor written guide, <br />But comes instead from deep inside. <br /> <br />Love is not just man and wife, <br />Nor can it spoil or end a life, <br />It has no hate nor prejudice, <br />The simplest soul will know of this. <br /> <br />Love is not defined by sex, <br />Nor are its needs quite so complex, <br />It is a force beyond compare, <br />A gift for all who can but dare. <br /> <br />Love is not all that we see, <br />Nor is it just a fantasy, <br />It is the heart in all our kind, <br />Just waiting there for us to find.<br /><br />Arik Fletcher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/truth-beyond/
