When the Trojan prince Paris was asked to judge which of three Olympian goddesses was the most beautiful, he chose Aphrodite over Hera and Athena. The latter two had hoped to bribe him with power and victory in battle, but Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful woman in the world.   
 and bobbybear asked  "aphrodite" what is 
 this word "love" you talk about
  
   
 is it a demon ....if so then let me slay it
 or a barbarian then let me imprison him
 if it is a titan then let me shackle it
  with the strongest iron chains forged by 
 the devils blacksmith
  
  .......is it greater than power 
 or is it stronger than an empire
 what price victory does a man have to pay for it
 it's only a word..methinks
 or is it a magic spell perhaps
  
 love
   
  ............has no heart and yet beats constantly
 and no voice and yet it is heard above the cry of battle
 it has no nervous system and yet it still hurts eternally
 no eyes that i see and yet it cries out into the heavens
 with tears to fill the oceans constantly
 it has no wings  and yet it flies to infinity and back
 with messages of hope and desire
  
  this love you talk about
 its has no arms
 and yet holds closely on a winters night
 it has no fingers 
 and yet it intertwines souls together
 forever as an ivy vine
  
 love
   
 can love be bought.......it cannot
 can love be stolen ocassionally ........yes
 and can it die...yes....but only after much torment
 and then it will resurrect itself phoenix like
 with just the touch of a finger tip or a kiss
   
 love
  
 is a miracle ........so they say
 it heals and soothes ..........if you believe it
 calms and comforts...............perhaps 
 and crosses over into realms of distance without moving
 it weeps in the desert and in the paradise of ones heart
 at the graveside and the wedding
 the birth and the parting
 the meeting and the long adieu
  
 love
   
 choose not wealth but covet love
 for the poor have it in abudance
 to live in austere surroundings is not a crime
 for these people find riches in each others eyes
 like diamonds in an ocean of dreams
  
 love 
  
 will last and will endure forever.and a day
 for the journey maybe long  over many cobbled roads
 through dark valleys and storms that blind
 for he or she that finds true love
   Then the  goddess of love will wrap those in a mist 
 and spirit them away as gods
  
 love 
  
 will hold my soul as with a glass so full of desire
 let not love spill away over it's edge
 but drink of me and I will feel your cold lips against me
 as a winters morn born on a summers night....so
  
 what is love 
  
  
 it cannot be explained by me 
  
  LOVE............. 
   
 "LOVE" IS INDIVISIBLE AND CANNOT BE CALCULATED
 IT ONLY GOES INTO ONE NUMBER .
 ........ITSELF
  
 IT ISNT A FLUID YET PEOPLE DROWN IN IT EVERYDAY
 IT ISNT A RIVER AND YET PEOPLE FALL
 HEAD OVER HEELS INTO IT DAILY
  
 IT IS WHOLE AND COMFORTABLE
 A CIRCLE WITHOUT  BEGINNING OR END
 IT HAS NO NERVOUS SYSTEM AND YET IT HURTS
  SO BADLY AND SOOTHES  AT THE SAME TIME .
 IT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED
 BY ME
  
 TWO SOULS SHARING THE SAME BODY
  A TWIN AND YET NOT A TWIN ITS FILLS TWO SOULS 
 AND YET THERE IS ONLY ONE DOORWAY TO ITS CENTRE
 CLOSED TO PASSERS BY CONDITIONALLY
  
 AS EYES MEET DISHARMONY  IS REPLACED WITH AGREEMENT
 AND TO DIE FOR LOVE ITSELF  IS THE GREATEST SACRIFICE OF ALL
  
 BUT THEN THERE IS............
  
 ......... "TRUE LOVE"
  
 WITHOUT HESITATION YOU WOULD DIE FOR IT
 AND ALL YOUR LIFE  ONE CAN YEARN FOR IT
 AS EMPIRES CRUMBLE SO POVERTY MEANS NOTHING AT ALL
  
 WITH TRUE LOVE ITS A WAY OF LIFE 
 THAT YOU BOTH HAVE CHOSEN UNCONDITIONALLY
 CARDBOARD BOXES "TOGETHER" BECOME A REFUGE
  
 AS HUNGRY MOUTHS DEVOUR SIMPLE KISSES
  FOR TRUE LOVE ONLY EXISTS ONCE IN A LIFE TIME
 IT'S FOR TWO PEOPLE AND NOT THREE
 AND WHEN LOVERS DIE IT LIVES ON AS ........LONGING
  
 I HAS NO WINGS  AND YET IT TRAVELS TO INFINITY AND BACK
 EVERY MICRO SECOND  WHEN IT'S AWAY
 ITS ALMOST TONGUE TIED  DURING THE DAY BUT IN THE EVENINGS  
 WORDS  ARE SAID AS PEBBBLES UPON A BEACH SO ENDLESSLY
  
  
  
 BUT "TRUE TRUE" LOVE
  
 THAT IS NOT OF THIS WORLD BUT FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION
 SO SECRET THAT GOD NEVER DID REVEAL  THE WHERE OR WHY OR HOW
 OR THE SOURCE OR THE END IT'S JUST ETERNAL
  
 IT IS A GIFT THAT ONLY TWO PEOPLE  CAN SEE AND SHARE 
 WITH ONLY  ONE PAIR OF EYES........
  
 ....................."FOREVER"
   
 so walk softly amongst my dreams
 lest you trip and fall into my arms
  
 in.........." love "
