The big question

A poem about the meaning of love

What is love?

When there is no peace

It is just like an undying rumor

Proudly spread

But true love is quite different

because its a smile in hard times

A speech in confidence

That is sane

Truly you can never love

Without quarrels

If there haven't been hard times

Love is not made

But in all these what is love

For I do not know

for past experience have shown me

Love can fade

Your words written true and honest.
"Truly you can never love
Without quarrels
If there haven't been hard times
Love is not made"
Love is hard work and 50 years together. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Such a big question indeed.

Love, is a watered down emotion. It has been much over used where and when unnecessary. It no longer carries any chutzpah!
What you require here Benson, is Passion. Passion is the end all!
