What is This Thing
Called Love
how to talk about
this thing called loved                        the eyes dilate 
it is hard to
breath.....no wait                            i think i am talking about attraction  
and love is
something else               but what is it                           i think  
it is something like
a stew              takes a long time to cook        is only ready after a long period
slow heat             flavors
mingle in the pot                respect grows each day    and trust
love it not about
outward appearances                though I have always loved the way you looked
the person takes a step                     into your heart                        a flag is raised
territory is
claimed           perhaps love is claimed         something given & something taken
that will be proved
over a period of time                                        when love is young
no one can tell         is
it true                   will it last                                 will it grow
love is a lot like
liquor                 put into a barrel           the proof is in the
tasting            
it takes time there is no rushing the process
it takes time there is no rushing the process

Oh, I like this one, Annell, especially the lines about the stew and the slow heat building. Funny thing, I also wrote about love today and it wasn't to a prompt. We are on a wavelength and that pleases me,

I so love "the person takes a step into your heart." Beautiful, Annell. This is exactly the way love grows.
