A poem for my beloved.
Love is
Love is
Love
is not
having
everything go your way,
but
living every day
like
it is the only one.
Love
is not
always
full of smiles,
but
caring all the while
and
sacrificing none.
Love
is not
just
a thing you do,
but
something to hold onto
when
life has come and gone.
Love
is not
shedding
tears of pain,
but
dancing in the rain
from
dark until the dawn.
Love
is
there
when all else fails,
the
wind to fill your sails
to
guide you straight and true.
Love
is
patience
in the storm
to
keep you safe and warm,
the
hope to see you through.
Love
is
more
than being loved.
It
fits you like a glove,
and
fills you deep inside.
Love
is
better
than the best,
surpasses
all the rest,
and
cannot be denied.
Awesome! It's perfect in it's sincerity and even when describing what love is not love overshadows the negative. This conveys your feelings so well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I let my own experiences be the guide. It helps to articulate how you really feel. The personal touch is what makes it meaningful.
DeleteI liked this poem because it was goofy. Sincerity is often goofy. Problems arise when people get too serious and try to calculate the cause of everything. It's nice to see a brief moment of sanity from you.
ReplyDeleteThis poem was born from experience, Tommy. I learned a lot about love by being loved. The poem was an opportunity to show what has been demonstrated.
DeleteWow! You turned all that sensitivity into a storm of passion! You were eloquent in your "rant" and sweet in your severity.
ReplyDeleteThanks, sensitivity is my specialty. In the last few months, I have learned a lot about love. I decided to share my observations in verse.
