What is this thing called Love?

What is love

that comes and goes,

is hot then cold

that portrays the image

of love forever after,

and all that glitters must be gold?

What is love

that leaves us in the lurch?

Yes! Love the bringing

together of two hearts

only to have one lanced

by the spear of one,

seven deadly sins

dividing the two.

What is this thing called love

that clouds the senses

only to leave us

on a clear day

where the mind wakes up

from the carnage

to find the heart

has played on its euphoric impulses?

Love is a parachute sailing through clear blue sky until the rough landing shakes you to the core. When it's good, it is very, very good. When it's bad it is rotten.

Howdy Chris, Greetings too. Hope you are well. I'm yet to have my astreneca shot but I will in a week or two. Cheers.

All OK here Andrew. I've had both mine. It does give you reassurance. Get it done for some peace of mind. Take care.

This thing called love... is a Deck of Cards shuffled and played like hands up or hands down... I am still a Clown with you in Mid-Air... and me with a smile ... I join you in a Hot Air Balloon...

I was thinking of the song.. Bring in the Clowns... Love can be Magical and more. I told my husband after years of marriage that Inalways wanted to be called “Darling”... now I experience that endearing word every day when least expected... Prayer 🙏 is very powerful...
gently, Pat
