30 Oct Faces of Love
Faces of Love 
July 2021
Love wears a smile
Love wears a frown
Love is sweet
It fills you with hope
Love is bitter
It is a dream crusher
Love wraps you with warmth
Its space is cozy
Love is laden with violence
You cannot escape its masterful uppercut
Love is trust
You live knowing it’s got your back
Love is betrayal
It walks away when you least expect it, selling your treasures for a fee
Love is peaceful
It encourages resolution and sharing
Love is rancour
The spite and venom keep you on your toes
Love is the fuzzy feeling
The butterfly in your stomach
Love is the sharp pain
That reaps your heart apart
Love is a hug
The many types of hugs you want
Love is refrain from an embrace
Turning away from things that hurt you
Love is giving
Beautiful roses, chocolates, ponies, and the likes
Love is taking
Privileges and benefits that send you crashing
Love is welcome
Love is goodbye
About the poem
There are many faces of love. Sometimes it comes to us as soft, succulent, and fragrant. At other times love shows up as hard, strong, and stinky. To live wholly and fully, we should manage the different sides of love and learn that we need both sides for balance and growth. Love is always around us. Love and be loved.
