Love To the Nice Man

The nice man asked me once
a question, I gave some thought too,
he seemed curious and entranced 
so I listen to what he said:

What is love he asked
is it just a mere word,
since its widely spoken aloud
by faithful hearts
and deceitful mouths

Is it but a weapon
used to make grown men primitive
and wild?
And grown women hysterical, jealous
and vile?

Maybe it’s used to tame,
make the men grovel
make women beg

Or maybe a state of being
Maybe a state of mind
Happy and coy,
The dreamy smiles.
The joy.

I answered
yes it’s a word, 
a word I want to tell you everyday

Maybe it’s a weapon, 
one you’ve used to capture my heart.
A state of being,
for I am joyous, being here with you.
Love is how it feels like to be with you.
