Weekend poetry: What Is Love? / C'est quoi, l'amour ? (English-français) (with photo)
How would you define love? That's a question I asked myself more than ten years ago when I sat down to write the poem below...
Love is...
Love is...
Sunny Sunday mornings –
The heart’s early warnings –
Adolescence’s first kisses –
Anger’s deep and heaving hisses –
Disagreements –
Firm agreements –
A split second’s distress –
God’s wonderful caress –
That’s what love is!
That’s what love is!

L’amour, c’est…
L’amour, c’est…
Les dimanches matins radieux –
Le cœur et ses premières cabrioles –
L'adolescence des premiers baisers –
Les soupirs malaisés de la colère –
Les désaccords –
Les doux accords –
La détresse d’un instant –
La caresse merveilleuse de Dieu –
C’est ça, l’amour !
C’est ça, l’amour !
