Love Is


love is exciting, painful, scary
it creeps up, surprises
overwhelms with possibilities
obligations
challenges the heart to trust
to open up
to take chances

love comes in colors
red, like lust, like fire
like caution
blue, like fear, cold hands
loss of words
yellow, like sun and shine
and butter and buttercups
and being safe in someone's arms

love is essence
of memory and hope
and kindness
love hurts and heals
appears by chance
exactly when it's needed
