My Definition of Love

My definition of love
‘Love’, like a river,
That flows with no end
And a healer
Doth our soul mend.
 
Some say it’s a cutter
That cuts the heart to bleed
But I say it’s a flower,
And you the only seed.
 
Some say it’s a deceiving prowler
That seeks for whom to doom
But I say it’s an enhancer,
That gives my heart a boom.
 
Some say it’s an invention,
To lead men astray
But I say it’s an intention, 
To drive our fears away.
 
Some say it’s an explosive that leads to disadvantages
Which deafens the ear at its sound
But I say it’s the greatest of all universal languages
That makes the world go round.
 
Some say it’s a vision,
That goes blur with years
But I say it’s a passion 
To drive away tears.
 
Some say it bonds one in suffering, 
And leaves one to wrestle with fear
But I know it’s a generous offering
For mankind to share.
