i'm looking for something
that starts with an 'L'
its not a lion
not even a log
intangible
incomprehensible
oh! the things it'll make you do!

i think there's an 'O'
right next to it
its what people
sing about,
talk about,
write about
and always
always keep searching for

with a 'V' in sight
when the time is right
for that one special night
we'll dance till dusk is day
but until then
the elusive creature
will keep me searching
waiting

finally the 'E'
its the last letter
when the search is ended
for those who've been blessed
its just so much bliss
no wonder they utter
"I'm in seventh heaven"
(but beware of the big 'Divorce')

to end on a gay note
we'll just say this is crappy
and hope to find one day
the L_O_V_E
that has been promised
unblemished, polished
shared, cherished
come what may
