What is love?

A chapter in the book Ancient Art of Poetry

Gas lighter

by Lea Tonin1

what is this wrapping sweet chains around my heart

what is this power enveloping who I am

what is this smile and gesture - your gaze of centuries
 
what is this deliciously locked prison
 
what is this bewildered disillusionment
 
what is this scratching deceitful harlequin disguise 
 
what is this crimson granite where my heart once lived
 
what is this vacuum he left that used to be me
 
 
what is love you ask
I really don't know
pain
