True Love, What Is It

True love, what is it
Emotions given unto another sweetly consumed bit by bit
That burning flame only one person has lit
A scent of one’s essence felt, however, not seen once it drifts

The smile, the eyes
Lost in rapture, union to be, already written in the skies
Ordained by kismet karma designs
The true essence of one’s soul to feel, enthrall, and be felt
The rhythm of bodies as souls blend and then softly melt

No, is it the arms, the hands
Upholding the heart when love is in demand
When life deals unkind and bitter reprimands
Is it the sensitive minds while on a pilgrimage to taste the Holy land

Is it the feet
The steps destiny has brought us pass the meet and greet
Hum, could it be the hue of a skin tone
Blinders on when awaited passion roams
In sync as minds, bodies, hearts echoes the same beautiful love song

Is it the body in motion
The temple of true devotion
The magnetic love potion
The twisting current when navigating inside the deep ocean

It is the essence of a spiritual combination
Soul to soul under one God, under one nation
Tears blending when words refuses to say
Bowing your heads together asking for the ordained union as you both pray

Either you have it, or you don’t
Beautiful minds think alike, some can’t, some won’t
Never realizing what true love is, so scavengers’ souls dance in the dark
You can’t cease cupid’s arrowing path, it's a zealous work of art
For some and for others, no end, no start
True love, what is it
Author's Note
Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'
