Is love a real emotion
or simply a man-made concept?
Our hearts are strong, pulsing with constant motion;
but when it comes to love, are they just not adept?
Our eyes are constantly taking in new scenes
and sending off the stimuli.
But our eyes can't quite comprehend what they mean
and freeze in shock when the eyes begin to cry.
Our bodies were built to withstand nature's cruelty,
but human nature is a different matter.
You have to dig much too deep to find
the beauty hidden within the latter.
Will it always remain a mystery with which our bodies cannot cope?
All I know is that with love, there is always hope.
