WHAT IS LOVE?

"What is love?" I asked my friend,
And this was his reply.
"Love is like an ocean wave,
That crashes on the shore."

"How do you mean?" I queried then,
"A wave to shore may come,
But then returns from whence it came,
And washes away the sand."

"So does love. It goes and comes,
And as it washes out,
It washes away other things–
Things that might-have-been."

good job, Morath. If I hadn't spent my whole day devouring (yet still despising) my biology textbook, I'd probably have something even greater to say to you. But, my tired mind is spent. Great work. Oh, and welcome to QL writer's club (from a fellow newbie). Thank you so much for sharing this...it made me smile...it was particularly philosophical. Loved it!! Thanks...

NICE.

love is like an ocean wave, sometimes so gentle, sometimes violent even.

The face that launch’d a thousand ships
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.

Love is the true means by which the world is enjoyed:
our love to others, and others' love to us.
~ Thomas Trahern

Love is an electric blanket with somebody else in control of the switch.
~ Cathy Carlyle

Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion
that each include the other,
each is enriched by the other.
~ Felix Adler

Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time:
effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.
~ Germaine De Stael

Live, love, learn!

something i made up a couple of years....

love....

is as common as a could but has the power to cure. as deadly as a poison, and yet is so pure, love can be beautiful, yet still be in vain. Love can be pleasurable or bring about pain. Love can ignite fires or be could to the touch. love can cause a fall or be used as a crutch. love can build strength and weaken the soul, love can be priceless or may require a toll....

The same question written in a personal writing with the answer of "pages and pages," but here are just a few of my favorite quotes:

It is love rather than sexual lust or unbridled sexuality if, in adition to the need or want involved, there is also some impulse to give pleasure to the person thus loved and not merely to use them for our own selfish pleasure. ~Mortimer Adler

Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the Shadow of the other.
~Carl G Jung

All virtues come down to courage, at the sharp end of the sword. But courage must be tempered by prudence. Courage wasted by misdirection is the most heart-breaking of all tragedies. If there is an eighth deadly sin, it ought to be stupidity, by which all virtues run out into dry sands. Yet...where does prudence end and cowardice begin? That's a very good damn question! -Lois McMaster Bujold, The Spirit Ring

A subtle warm sense of belonging,care, understanding, friendship, kinship that generates from deep deep within and finds itself slowly in another ones heart and all this happening without ones realization of one being in love, but never fret, as moments are those dawning spaces of time when its rays suddenly filter thru your heart and its aroma wanders inside your whole being...making you heady,light and bright on your feet...that an voice in you whispers...."Dear! You Are In Love"...well something to that affect

"What Is Love"

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails
