What It Is

by Eric Freid

It is madness
says reason
It is what it is
Says love

It is unhappiness
says caution
It is nothing but pain
Says fear
It has no future
says insight
It is what it is
says love

It is ridiculous
says pride
It is foolish
says caution
it is impossible
says experience
it is what it is
says love

I love poetry, especially good poetry! Thank you!

Hmmm... I think I'll share one of mine, let me see if I can find one about Love.

Here, this one is about libido, which of course is a form of love:

Playful LIbido
by: Noa ImiLoa

let’s dance close
not a soul around
just you... and me
feel the music soothe
let the world fade away
this moment is ours
feel the palm of my hand
glide slowly up
the small of your back
pull you in close
feel our warm breaths
sink into hot skin
feel desire so thick
it cakes up the air
between where i stop
and you start
feel lips tickling lips
tips of tongue
softly tasting you
feel fingers flowing
tracing the creases
of under lacings
feel the promise
of pains so sweet
their aftermath tremor
all night until sleep
brings her blessed release

Ah i know that one! Es ist was es ist sagt die Liebe and so on. Groovy.

funky. :)
I always wondered what it sounded in the original version. And I'm impressing myself by actually managing to understand the whole of the german sentence but I doubt my minimal knowledge would stretch to cover anything else.
