Love?

                         what is love?

the word couples say when they wish to express theyre feelings toward each other?

    the reason doves coo at each other?

 a young mother whispering to her infant child?

monkeys grooming each other ?

a grandmother spoiling her grandchildren?

or is it a cobra's dance?

a kiss of death?

a slap upon ones face?

a "one night stand" the convential quickie?

a bullet to the skull?

words so potent as  the poison in a snakes fangs?

an ailing fahers words to his young son as he's taking his last breath on his deathbed?
