The Act of Love

 

An original poem by Valerie LK Martin originally posted 2/14/18

Love can be joyous

Love can be grand

Your heart craves it

So, take someone’s hand

Love can sizzle

Love can be blind

Your heart can be full

Or you can lose your mind

Love can heal

Love can be a ride

You can show mercy

Or you can hide

Love can be fickle

Love can be warm

You can give up

Or you can weather the storm

Love can last

Love can be lost

You can choose to fight

Or you can choose to toss

Love that is real is

Love that takes sweat

What you put in

Is what you get
