Love Is Not
I don't pretend
to really understand what love is,
but I guess I know
a bit about what it's not.
That cloyingly sweet emotion
that sours with the ticktock
of the clock
definitely it's not.
Love is not
just making love like making coffee
or making an alibi
or making one's bed.
It's living life lovingly
with the one you love for a lifetime,
despite stale coffee, poor alibi
and aching head.
