What Is Love?

Or to have never loved at all?

By Tammy CastlemanPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

What is Love?

Immortal; Temporal.

Entwining; Letting Go.

Elation; Acceptance.

Strangeness; Familiarity.

Touch; Absence.

A canvas of paradox,

Painted in misty Montmartre’

on a Springtime day,

Beneath an old Ash tree,

With birds in the air;

Words fly away...

Into timelessness.

What is Love?

Elusive; Everything.

Better to have loved...
