Love is an animal instinct <br />and love is divine. <br /> <br />Love softens the edge <br />of every negative emotion <br />and overlooks the faults, <br />as the dawn softens <br />the edge of darkness. <br />Love is also a scalpel's edge <br />it heals as it cuts. <br /> <br />Love is caging a bird <br />and love is setting it free <br />and listning to its every note <br />as it sings in the woods <br />and see it soar high <br />in the wide open sky <br /> <br />Love is selfish as a baby <br />and love is selfless as a mother. <br />Love is flambyont as a gulmohar <br />and love is shy as a 'touch me not'. <br />Love is supportive as a a tree <br />and love is dependent as a climber. <br /> <br />Love is a temptation <br />to pluck the rose <br />and love is tolerence <br />when the rose is loved <br />even if the thorn pricks bleed. <br /> <br />Love is an elixir <br />and can make paradise <br />of the earth <br />and still has the energy <br />to blow it all up. <br /> <br />17/6/09<br /><br />maitreyee joshi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-this-and-that/
