Loves as Warm as Tears by C. S. Lewis Loves as warm as tears, Love is tears: Pressure within the brain, Tension at the throat, Deluge, weeks of rain, Haystacks afloat, Featureless seas between Hedges, where once was green. Loves as fierce as fire, Love is fire: All sorts - infernal heat Clinkered with greed and pride, Lyric desire, sharp-sweet, Laughing, even when denied, And that empyreal flame Whence all loves came. Loves as fresh as spring, Love is spring: Bird-song hung in the air, Cool smells in a wood, Whispering, Dare! Dare! To sap, to blood, Telling Ease, safety, rest, Are good; not best. Loves as hard as nails, Love is nails: Blunt, thick, hammered through The medial nerves of One Who, having made us, knew The thing He had done, Seeing (with all that is) Our cross, and His.
