What Love Is

Title:     What Love Is
Author: Edward Powys Mathers [More Titles by Mathers]

Love starts with a little throb in the heart,
And in the end one dies
Like an ill-treated toy.
Love is born in a look or in four words,
The little spark that burnt the whole house.
Love is at first a look,
And then a smile,
And then a word,
And then a promise,
And then a meeting of two among flowers.

From the Arabic.

[The end]
Edward Powys Mathers's poem: What Love Is
