Place of Love

If love were a place, where would it be?

Would it be in the arms of their gentle embrace?

Would it be where echoes of their laughter kiss the wall?

Is it the place where only love can dwell?

Would it be ever changing?

Or be ever still?

Would it shift wherever they go?

Or would it be where they are known to be?

For I only know where they are is where I aim to stay.

Perhaps it is connected to someone,

Be it a love of heart or friendship’s gentle flame,

That is where I will always want to be

May it just be their presence,

Their warm embrace,

Or just their sweet essence lingering in the room,

There I’ll remain, however long love will allow.
