My Karina

My Love

My Karina

My heart belongs to you forever

no matter what your mind tells you to believe.

You taught me how to love again

and how to set my spirit free.

You gave me inspiration

filled me full of hope

and taught me that my sorry

soul can have love.

You took me to divine places

where I'd never been,

showed me sights and flavours

that I had never seen.

John, Many a man has had love then lost it, leaving that man to think he will never love again. When you say, "You taught me how to love again," sounds like it may be the case here. When my first marriage dissolved that's exactly how I felt until I met Dee. Twenty-three years later I can look back and credit her with teaching ME the same thing. Such a beautiful and tender write. Salute! take care...dan

Some would say we are lucky to feel such love but as great as someone makes us feel there is no cure for a love that can't be enjoyed to the fullest.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Very true. Many thanks FT

Funny how love cannot be measured either with time or in volume. However love always leaves you with a everlasting impression stamped on your thoughts. Nice Write John and breakups are not fun!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed they are not. Thanks Andrew.

[Kelly Scheppers]

...then a happy man, you are!

No not really. She told me we would move to Norway together this year but instead she stayed with a husband she despises and whom her mother despises. We split up a year ago.

What does Karina mean?
A very positive poem. Profound with optimism and hope. Yes, every sorry soul does deserve love. It just takes the right person to realise it and love you. A very touching piece.

Karina is the name of my Norwegian girlfriend. Thank you Annie.

I meant "what does the name mean?"

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Karina"/Kariːnɑː/" is a female given name of modern usage. It can be a variant spelling of Carina (from Latin carus = love) or a short form of Katarina/Katrina.[1]

It is mainly used in Greece, Scandinavia and Poland; when spelt Carina it is used in Italy and Spain.

In Greece it means "pure" while in Poland it is more likely derived from Ekaterina, another variant of Catherine - again meaning "pure".

Karina also means "Pretty" in Italian
