I remember having this really annoying repetitive dream where this man I was discussing poetry with, kept asking me “What is the definition of Love?” I had this dream every night for nearly a week, while I working on a book of poetry and it was really starting to drive me bananas. Then I remembered something I learned from my meditation teacher taught me about lucid dreaming. Your dreams often try to tell you something about yourself. This was a poem that I needed to write. I was working on a series of romantic haikus, this is what I finally came up with:

definition of Love 1 (haiku)

the definition
of love, when your happiness
is my happiness.
