The Power of Love
~Siniphous


No rope or cable can hold so tight
What love can do with twine
No kiss can taste so bittersweet
As the one which captures our mind
The first sign of love is the last of wisdom
As eager hearts fulfill desire
Love is just a staple of life
Though heaven sparks the fire
Man knows no rage like love
Once to hatred it has turned
How wise are we who are such fools
Who forget the lessons we've learned
Love, indeed, descends from heaven
Like a shooting star across the sky
Love sometimes stirs the dust
'Till tears fall free from the eye
The Goddess must have loved people in love
Or She wouldn't have made so many
Those who claim it's a mental disease
Have never been loved by any
Love is stronger than life itself
And jealousy more cruel than the grave
Men and women have loved one another
Since they spent their nights in a cave
When the hands of love
Touch the strings of the soul
There'll be babies on the way
That's the basic rules of life
No matter what games we play
Like the flowers in the fields
We shed our shields
To be warmed by the sun
We live our lives the best we can
Till death catches us on the run
