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 "
