This Thing Called Love

There's this thing
called love-
It has many faces, invokes many reactions...
Some know it as a sentiment, an emotion;
some consider it a feeling.
And few even think of it as nothing more than a notion.
But it's more than that...
Love is not just
an emotion, a sentimental feeling.
It's a perpetual presence-
an extension of the heart;
one that engulfs the soul
and placates the mind.
It's what some pray for
in the silent hours of the night...
It's what others will spend their whole life waiting for.
It's an anomaly that conquers
but cannot be conquered.
It's a breathtaking force,
a powerful entity.
It's power encompasses all doubts, fears, and inhibitions.
Those who know its astounding glory
know that it is a treasure,
one that nothing earthly
could ever replace.
There's this thing called love-
Ever-present, ever-beautiful,
Ever ours.
