I cannot tell you what love is for it is not tangible like cement
but I can tell you this you cannot beg for it borrow it nor rent
I never did quite figure out what makes it come what makes it go
one thing I know for sure is this, when I near it I begin to glow
Love is not an easy word to whisper in the thick of angered rage
nor is it something you can slip between the lines of a written page
Love is to be lived without devour from patience to understanding
you need to treat it like gold, if its to be your Lancelot of everlasting
I could never pin the moment of love's conception nor when it died
but the one thing I did realize with age is this, if its real its bona fide
if life is a gift, love is the all enduring essence of all that is good in me
and I cannot imagine giving it to someone, without giving it for free
I cannot tell you what love is for sure, but I can tell you its all I need
love is a two sided sword, it makes you happy or it makes you bleed
I never did quite figure out what makes it come what makes it go
but one thing I know for sure is this, when I near it I begin to glow.
A poignant piece well written. "I cannot tell you what love is for sure"... I agree. Especially in this time we live in when human love has been so perverted and redefined. So thankful that God's love for us is the same yesterday today and forever. Take care... rlc
Indeed, so very true, love can be and usually elusive, but we know when it is there, there is no doubt about that. How to define it and what it means is another question, and poets like you and I will continue to do so in the years to come, ever searching, never fully knowing except what we know from exvperience.
Timeless wisdom and advice on the art of living for today’s young and old: The art of thinking, the art of loving, the art of working, the art of leadership, the art of growing old.
