Luxury

LUXURY   When Love Calls

we know the answer

already-

love is the question

we always wonder about.

we go about our daily lives

consciously (and subconsciously)

wondering why we breathe.

looking,

searching

within the confines of our brain:

a reason

for what the heart already knows:

why it flutters

with the mere mention of one’s name.

why the skin tingles

with the slightest touch.

why our eyes can see the sun shining-

even though it’s raining.

why nothing else

seems to matter as much

                              anymore.

it is love:

love.

and that is the easy part

we all have loved

but loving and being loved—

now,

that is luxury.

priceless,

thought it is free.

we can not buy it

we can not sell it.

we are lucky to have it call our name.

love.
