LOVE AND VALENTINE'S DAY

This original poem won the COOL FM 96.9 Valentine Poem contest some years ago. So, in the spirit of the Valentine season, I have decided to share it with you. But remember, love goes beyond celebrating February 14, Valentine's Day; show love everyday. Love the most powerful force in the Universe. And like they say, Love conquers all; it makes the world a better place.

Happy Valentine!

LOVE IS

Love is a four-letter word


That touches the bottom of one’s heart

And expands it.

Love is a picture 


Framed in gold


Showing unending treasures


Painted in beautiful colours

Love is precious.

Love is sweet.

Love is musical.

Love is poetry.

Love is like fire,

Refining fire.

Love is a desire 


To be irresistibly desired.

Love is potent.

Love is like a magnet.

Love is an emotion.

Love is tenderness.

Love is passion.

Love is companionship.

Love is a gift.

Love is light.

Love is eternal.

Love is life.

Love is beautiful.

Love is you.
