Pure love
Pure love is selfless
It demands nothing at all
Its greatest satisfaction
Is seeing the beloved
Full of joy and delight
Pure love speaks no language
But that of the soul… silence
It needs no words
For the beloved understands
Pure love does not require
Physical closeness
It transcends all barriers
Separation by time and space
Is merely an illusion
The beloved is always near by
Pure love is generous
It gives endlessly
Waiting for nothing in return
And the more it gives
The more it grows
Pure love is infinite
It has neither beginning nor end
Bigger than space, older than time
Pure love is eternal
Before its glory
Mighty death stands powerless, in awe
It’ can neither harm nor destroy
Pure love is beautiful
It shines through feelings
Like a diamond in a pile of coal
Pure love is precious
It’s makes life worth living
And you know what
I can feel your astounding pure love
Engulfing me
Can you feel mine?
