‘Love? One word’s like any other.’
I find it hard to disagree,
Or to take the time to ponder
The relevance of this to me.
‘Love’ is a word, lost in the crowds:
Unremarkable, floating past,
No special features make it proud,
Its letters spelled from first to last.
Which begs the question, not so new:
If all of the above is true,
Why is it that I would go to
All corners of the Earth for you?

'Love' undoubtedly is just another word, yet it is so much more. Something we need a lot in today's world. It stands apart from the other words because of the depth contained in its meaning and the emotion associated with it. But lives have become all about superficiality today. This poem is amazing!
Your Royal Poetess - Thank you so much. I am so pleased that you got something out of the poem.
The last two lines resonated with me, beautiful poem
Thank you so much, John. Love poems are difficult to write and I decided to try a different angle with this one, concentrating on the word rather than the emotion.
I like this very much, Stephen.
Thank you, Nigel, for your beautiful poetic comment.
And many thanks to Stephen, Rudyard, Holden and Pete.
The last two lines
is why love works
in a way that
we can never understand.
