A philosophical love poem by David Tombale: A philosophy of love

A philosophy was my answer to a challenge I was once given to think of three questions I would ask just before I died. For some reason what it meant to be in love was the only question I felt I'd really want answered if I had no more time left to me.
A philosophy of love

What does it mean to be in love?

Tis to feel a spark begin in earnest
Darkness that’s flamed by passion’s
Speeding arrow piercing heart

Filling lungs and
Flooding palms

That mumbling,
That clumsy fervent speech
That clusters around the
Edges of twining souls neath a
Smiling moon

In spite of tempests 
That slam the shutters,
That shook the doors.
