What's Love Got To Do With It?

It's my Birthday month coming up in February when I will be judging this contest...so, here's the spiel...

 

Give me lofty poems about love, as its my favorite subject...

 

It matters not if it's love of a person or of your Heavenly Father...

 

Just write me something that causes me to get acquainted in a fresh way with love...

 

I want to 'smell' its breath...feel its sensations...

 

I want it to be special...

 

One can define it, glamorize it or just poetically capture it...

 

No x-rated stuff, or any such-keep it all elevated-thank you...lots of love

 

 

P.S.  A special consideration for any piece that helps me to get it-about how one knows when its real love, or how one knows if they're in love, well...

Though I love love, hahaha, I know so 'little' about it apparently-so help a sista out, won't you?  Thanks in advance to all who take the challenge to write about such an indefinable matter....
