Month of Charleston Love: ‘Love is Everything’ – Original Poem
By Mark A. Leon
Love is everything
Everything
Without it, we are invisible
Invisible to the sound of a morning rain
Invisible to the smile of a rose blossoming in Spain
Invisible to the sight of long slow kiss
In this life, there is so much we can miss
Love is enchanting like a warm summer breeze
A tingle, a wink, a sigh, a touch of a cool spring day
It is the reason we rise
The struggle to survive
The euphoria of time
The essence of rhyme
Love breathes
It protects
A blanket so safe
A song
A whisper
A kind eye
With the simplicity of words
Words spoken in the air
Linger, journey, invite you near
Take hold
Take flight
Find meaning
Stop thinking; just be
A disease infecting my very soul
Love is everything
Meant to be lost
To be found
Hold for a second
A risk
Take a picture
Keep it for all time
It will last forever
With the winds of change, I will be reminded of the smile that has stopped in time
With the strength of a thousand “I Love Yous”
I feel so alive now
So alive with you
You are the escape I have dreamed about
An imaginary world come true
With you, love is everything
