The epitome of euphoria.
Too vivid and profound to characterize this prodigious emotion,
Yet the meaning is minimized by redundant utterances proclaiming this sacred affection.
Represented by hallmark cards expressing intimacy with the symbolic and depreciated heart.
It is abused and abandoned when forlorn lover delve into a carton of ice cream,
Unable to bear the silent "rip" of their torn heart sinking to the floor.
It is seen in the faces of adolescent youth and seasoned seniors,
Engaged in trivial conversation about the happenings of the world.
It booms bold when hands hold,
Forming a silent tryst amidst the boisterous banter,
Of old familiars rejoicing in reunion.
Present, yet intangible,
Existing eternally since the foundation of the world.
Pen and pad cannot hope to etch a silhouette of frame of mind in its prime,
A simple word yet so hard to define.
The apotheosis of human emotion,
And the entity that unites and touches lives.
The lifesaver of human fallibility and weakness.
The Great Equalizer.
