The Beginning and the End

     The scent is familiar, yet it lends towards wonderment.

The aroma's faint enough to make you concentrate,

yet strong enough to remind you-and make you smile.

So delicate, is this melody.....it'll haunt your dreams,

weaving the tune in and out of your memory.

Satiating your hunger for a necter so sweet;

yet leaving the tastebuds of your soul,

yearning for a flavor never experienced...

..a past experience, never felt...

..and a feeling, both so familiar it is your friend...

..yet so unknown, it is but a stranger to you.

     Happiness is it's theme, and sadness is it's nemesis;

and more often than not, it's the other way around.

It has caused battles to ensue,

and ended wars-in an instance.

Depending on the variables, it can be an enemy-or a friend...

..taken-or given...

..near-or distant...

..granted-or denied...

..or a blessing-or a curse.

It can be all of these things.....because collectively, and separately...

..all of these things are "it".

It is the beginning... and the end.....

..for it is love.
