A Love Poem

... the love above love type of love ...

you can walk yourself 

through the fields of life 

but don’t forget to love 

you can wade around

in the depths of time 

but remind yourself of love 

you can create your 

own identity 

make sure it’s laced in love 

you can build your wealth

and dreams come true

but have foundations cement in love 

you can lose you temper 

all of us do 

just return to love 

you can fight with fury 

girded in valour 

but arm yourself with love

you can fornicate 

as humans relate 

remember to pack the love

you can walk into 

the quietude

a great place to reacquaint with love 

a love 

this love 

a love above  

the love that’s always there 

the bedrock of the universe 

waiting patiently 

to be shared

love this it flows effortlessly and is beautifully written. SO very true love can drives us crazy, make us laugh and cause us pain but we all still want and need it :))
"that crazy little thing called love" lol

Beautiful poetry. Soft & peaceful. Calm & potent. Yes, no matter how angry you're with love, your spirit always wants you to love back the love with much love. Nice flow of ink.

Hey there PoppyLove thanks do much for the read chick - hope your day is fab X

[ANTO]

Still going strong I see, my poetic--aesthetic-athletic champ!!

I really like the metaphorical work in each stanza - 'wading around in the depths of time' is truly brilliant, I felt.

'Love is the answer' - I guess the Fab Four were right again.


"a love
this love
is above love
so deep " - I wouldn't keep this in the final stanza KwP - it seems to interrupt the flow and seems convoluted but there is a gem in it - perhaps a rewrite of that part or instead just keep the last four lines as the coda - they are just dreamy

Im in awe of your pen.
:)

Hey coach / yes you may be right / I was rushing out to an engagement party yesterday and so well ... 'Nuff said .... Perhaps I shall look at it later when I have woken up X

[ANTO]

[ANTO]

Roll over onto the other side - your allowed to do it now and again - happy ZZZZZs part deux

[KWP]

Ok so I changed it a bit - I wanted to write 'love above' somewhere because of late I have been a bit perplexed when reading poems that get stuck at the 'ground level' physical love - that love is made up of lust and desire - which of course can be jolly good fun - but I want to tap right into the vein of the life force kinda love XX Mwah Love Ya Coach XX
