Discover the Essence of Love
What Is Love?
Delve into the timeless beauty and enduring power of love, a force that transcends time and space, binding souls in an eternal embrace.
Love is the passion which endureth,
Which neither time nor absence cureth;
Which nought of earthly change can sever:
Love is the light which shines forever.
What cold and selfish breasts deem madness
Lives in its depths of joy and sadness:
In hearts, on lips of flame it burneth;
One is its world--to one it turneth.
Its chain of gold--what hand can break it?
Its deathless hold--what force can shake it?
Mere passion aught of earth can sever,
But souls that love--love forever.
