The Conditions of Love
Love is smooth
Talking its way into your heart captivating you with grace and charm
Love is a river
Flowing to numerous outlets of your life
Love is shallow
When betrayed, it seems nothing or no one is there
Love is deep
Drowning you with warmth and compassion
Love is mystery
Always something new to discover
Love is the ooooh and the aahhhh
Love is a doctor
Always prescribing the right dosage of love and affection needed in your life
Love is an alien
You never know where its coming from
Love is patient
It conquers all, bears all, even in our saddest moment
Love is an instructor
Teaching the heart to grow and mature, overshadowing lifes greatest challenges
Love is affectionate
Embracing you, intimately, and emotionally
Love is oil to a machine
No matter how you need it
You can never do without it
Wait
I watched you standing embraced by your smile
The sun glistened within your eyes as you hypnotized the pigeons with beauty, and charm
I couldn’t help staring, my deepest thought begin to overwhelm me
Everyone heads turned as you passed by with grace of an eagle
Every time I visited the lake you were there
I wanted to speak to you so many times
I didn’t have the courage to overcome my shyness to walk up to you
By the time I gathered my courage you walked away
Wait! I didn’t get your name (softly to myself)
By then, it was too late, you were gone again
The soft stemmed roses stared with sadness in their eyes while falling slowly to the ground

Waves
Please, don’t leave
Can I share your love again
We danced to soothing ballads filled with emotions
Shadows of the moon stood within your eyes
Captions of silhouettes pierced the light
While monitoring our every move
Ocean waves awakened with a thunderous roar
Footprints embedded within the sand eloped with the waves as they quietly crept into the ocean
A gentle breeze captured the essence of the morning dew
Our love was awakening…
