LOVE

Love is stronger
when it embraces a heart
in the coldest night;

when its lips speaks
of endless joys in dreams
soon to come true if not forsaken;

when its eyes passes
through the depth of one's soul
and sees the naked truth;

when its reason
becomes incomprehensible
and overpowers the mind;

when its spirit keeps haunting
with a memory
of a broken past;

For amidst the ashes of tears and pains
Love arises
like a phoenix
with a burning splendor
bound to behold
by every man that walks the earth
and has been made known to all
but not completely;

For Love continues to grow and flourish
across distances -
among the thresholds of kings and nobles,
of princes and princesses
and back to every heart
that simply beats for another
and lives,
and dies,
in the name of LOVE.
