The Truest Essence

The Truest Essence

Love, in its purest essence
Is a volcanic explosion, sudden;
All at once, one is aware of its presence.
It asks for no glory or fame
Attention, it does demand;
A lingering thought, all the same.

It is the Thunder and Lightning
Clasping, colliding, booming!
Never forgotten, only subsiding.
It lingers, and plays in your mind
A favorite melody, humming, repeating;
No rules, no time, just mine.

So rare, it is mostly mistaken
My love, I've only just met thee?
Yet, my heart and all I am is taken.
That touch, the voice, that look
In a flash, a quickening;
It's all the words found in a romantic book.

Undeniably, and inescapably
One's own heart can go no further
An iron pillar, it stands faithfully.
Time and distance, does not subside
The lit fire, eternal flame forever burning;
It beckons, yearns, an alluring tide.

To love so absolute
A mountain, never faltering;
Such affection, one shall never dispute.
It is a calming peace
A tranquil moment, in all the turbulent;
A graceful lulliby, an orchestral piece.

Love, in its purest
Is beyond mere words and description
It's a sunset that shall not rest.
A falling star, forever falling
A flood, forever flooding
A northern star, never failing.

A million stars, shining in the night
Alone, never again;
A field of flowers, that beautiful sight.
"I love you" simply will not do
That mesmerizing, bewitching, spectacular grandeur;
Only that, my love for you, will forever hold true.
