Love Is A Knowing

Love is not blind.

It sees, not with eyes,

but with a heart that recognizes the soul.

A smile, a voice, a warmth from within-

these are the first glimmers of love's light.

And though it can feel blinding,

to the chosen few, it is wisdom.

It is a knowing.

Love is many faceted in my experience, and it certainly does not have to be all about Eros. Some of the most loving relationships are never consummated, but exist in the spiritual and emotional realms. 'What you give is what you get returned.' Exceptional ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Thank you so much, red. I deeply appreciate your reflection..what you describe resonates with the heart of what I was trying to express. Love’s quiet, unseen currents often carry the most profound meaning, and it is a joy to know the poem spoke to that.

The heart knows long before the eyes decide. Your short poem resonates Roma. I have lived this. Beautifully composed.

Thank you, Chris. I’m touched that the poem resonates with your own experience. It is always a quiet joy to know that the heart’s knowing can be felt and recognized across another’s life. Your words honor that gentle truth beautifully.

Roma, there’s a truth in this that feels almost too rare to grasp. Love as a knowing, seeing with the heart instead of the eyes....it’s beautiful, yes, but also something most of us only glimpse in fragments. I can’t say I live in that clarity every day, yet reading this reminds me it exists, and maybe, if we’re lucky, we might one day recognize it for ourselves.

There’s a quiet wisdom here, gentle but insistent, that lingers long after the last line.

Thank you, James, for such a thoughtful and generous reflection. I am deeply moved that the poem reached you in this way. Love as a knowing is indeed fleeting and often glimpsed in fragments, and it is a quiet gift to be reminded of its presence. Your words honor that subtle clarity, and I am grateful you shared your insight so beautifully.

There is deep meaning to the lines in this poem. Love here is not passion as many take love to be but far deeper a silent knowing that there is unity between two souls that love that is eternal not temporal a wonderful write
