What Causes Love

What causes one to fall in love;
   perhaps it’s caused by moon above,
         or gentle breezes giving shove;
      what causes one to fall in love?

What causes soft and gentle sighs;
   perhaps the beauty in her eyes,
         or just some dream that we surmise;
      what causes soft and gentle sighs?

What causes hearts to beat so fast;
   perhaps her scent as she walks past,
         or just the die of fate as cast;
      what causes hearts to beat so fast?

What causes passions to ignite;
   perhaps the calmness of the night,
         or just the need of love’s delight;
      what causes passions to ignite?

What causes one to fall in love;
   I ponder deeply thoughts thereof;
        perhaps it’s merely life’s behove
     that causes one to fall in love.
