Love is not images 
Of nude bodies in shadow 
It is not the smell 
Of fragrance's lingering 
Nor is it velvety voices 
Whispering of promises 
It has no bonds; it never imprisons 
Love is not obscure; it does not hide. 

Love will not 
Provide you happiness 
Until it emits 
From within your heart 
It will not seek you out 
While you wait 
It will not assault a heart that trembles 
Love is what you do, and who you are.
