LOVE IS A WORD

Love is a word
for the incompleteness you feel
when someone is away from you
and the completeness that you feel
when they are next to you.

Like a cloud burgeoning to burst
with happiness and kisses,
that spills rain during the dark times.

You are no less consuming
than wrapping myself in a blanket
on a cold rainy day
while the rain dances
on the roof.
