What Answer Love

Are you a feeling of affection
that is running to the depths
or the false dense that lust brings
is it a heart that soars
with new found wings

Love I know not of you
you're just a four letter word
to think you any more than this
seems truly too absurd

What answer love
than do you give
inside some
yet not in others

Would you only be a heart
given on Valentine's Day
or more than that
this tell me pray

Perhaps the truth
in all the lies
a lifelong story
in a lover's eyes

I breathed you once
will I breath you again
or have you been lost
forever

Thank you and yes love means many different things and is used in the wrong context over and over as "I love you hair" for example

can be many different things, to many different people. I think that most people are bright enough to figure out the meaning of what is meant, by the context in which it is used, but sadly, some do not recognise that it means so many different things and confuse them. It's very frustrating to have had it once before and then to lose it. Such a wonderful emotion, is a powerful drug and we wish partake again and again. You want have divined the meanings very well and will recognise it, if it shows itself again.
Keep looking. ~ Geez.

Hello, Chrys,
I've come back to your poem several times - I noticed that you directed it to "Love" itself. It feels as if Love is there by your side, lingering and reminding you that it is real. I agree that what is meant for us will not pass us. Beautiful reflections and sentiments.
Thank you!
