Love Poem, by Armand DiMele

What is love ?

Well everyone knows

It's a feelIng that goes

From your head to your toes

LIke a gush

Or a kvell

And you always can tell

Cause there's not many thIngs

That make your heart swell

......As much as love does

So, how do we get it ?

Where do we go ?

Must you work every day

At makIng It grow ?

Do you chase it ? Or fInd it ?

Does anyone know ?

Well I think we do

It's not an illusion

Love is really quite simple

Not really confusing

We don't have to hunt

I'll show you right now

It doesn't take magic

We all know how

To open our hearts

We just sometimes forget

Our minds get so busy

We forget how to let love

Be what it is

---a feeling - inside

What I said is not new

There is no surprise

Love is right here

E-v-e-r-y second

It silently calls you

Listen...... It beckons

Quietly now

Its a very feint sound

Love enters in silence

It's always around

So now - take a minute

And please, close your eyes

'cause love can't be seen

It's on the inside

We can all make love happen

So let's just do it

Love Is simply a feeling

That's all there is to it

Be tender and gentle

Breathe deep.....Fill your chest

It's no time to think

Your mind needs to rest

That's it...

Relax for a moment

And forget being smart

Place your own gentle hand

RIght over your your heart

Continue to breathe

Let love enter in

When one breath is over

Let another begin

Now find your own door

No thoughts....Just go through it

Let your love fill your heart

Let your breath take you to it.

Be gentle, right there

Stay wIth it -- the feelIng

There's no doubt about it

Love's the core of your being

Now you can feel

What love's all about

Was there ever any

Reason to doubt

That you'll have it

UntIl your last dying day

That this feeling is you ?

It wIll not go away

It's inside you forever

And it's so, so simple

You were born with it

Like a life long dimple

Now all together . . .

Let's breathe out a sigh

And slowly, real slowly

Open your eyes.

Love is a feeling

It has nothing to do

WIth anything else

Except

you

being

you.
