Fruition

Love manuscript- by novice, age 22.

Love should just come easy, it will need no preconditions

I know it sounds quite crass, yet watch it come round to fruition 

So forget the status quo, watch your woes, fade right into remission

I've never told you that before.

 

Love should almost ripen, growing stronger steadfastly

From the sweet beginnings, when they first came round for tea

To the sickly blow, when they let you go, like an apple falling from a tree

Realization. They don’t love you anymore.

 

But love will come again; you won’t need a second invitation

Grab it by the collar, again, that’s no revelation

Brick by brick, you make it stick, love is just a temple of your creation

You’ll make it work for sure.

Love SHOULD come easy, but often that is not the case! When it becomes more painful than pleasant, the time to walk away has arrived. It will come again and when it does, you will see it was so worth the wait! Honest and good advice. Well written. Lydi**

Ah I'm glad someone can relate to my perspective on the mysteries of love! Think what I'm trying to say is all the heartbreak and turmoil of past relationships is worth if it, if you can rectify the mistakes you made with the next person!

It sometimes takes many 'go's' at love before you find the one that sticks. I enjoyed this contemplative poem.

A hopeful poem on love, very nice. I enjoyed reading this

i like how this is built, brick by brick, word by word.

but as Ringo sang..."it don't come easy"

and it don't leave easy either...the scars make it easier said than done to jump into it again...if only it were this easy.

nice write.

Oh no I completely agree. I was more elaborating on the 'plenty more fish in the sea' theology, but also the fact that if your unfortunate enough to experience heartbreak, you cling on to the next person that little-bit tighter. You learn not to take their love for granted, and you learn to not commit the same mistakes that may have inevitably lead to the first break up. That's where I was going, I think!

You have shared a lovely message here Joe. Love should come easy and grow and bloom as time goes on and if it withers and wilts...love will come again. Quite inspirational!

Uhuh that's the best way I could portray my experiences. Obviously it's different for everybody, but from experience, I found I'm much better prepared mentally for love this time round, if that makes sense? x

I love your expression here... sincerity flows within each line...
Your rhyme is not forced and feels natural...

There is a wonderful message delivered in this piece...Lovely write Joe!~xoxo~:)

[Joe Palmer]

Thank you very much! I set out with the intention of jotting down a happy, pleasant poem about love. But that would be over-simplifying the most complicated issue on earth. XX

You penned the "mystery of love" perfectly! I could read this over and over... and still wonder...~xoxo~:)
