Don't Trip Over Lust...


Poem Artwork



Never "Fall" In Love
By La Belle Rouge


don’t run and trip over your lust
or stumble in the dark over loneliness
never accidentally “fall” in love


you might break your heart


keep your balance at all costs
and if you’re reeling and feeling
a bit drunk on love, sober up, fast


you could fall in a deep ditch


remember the high stakes
it’s much easier to love someone
than it would ever be to lose them


never gamble foolishly with your life


never give “all”, reserve a particle
of who you are and what you have
kept in emotional trust just for you


then you’ll always have something left


love as deeply as you can but only
when you are certain the one you love
is worthy of affection and devotion


love may be free but its not cheap


let your heart be a safe haven
not a courtroom or cage with bars
if the dove wants to fly, let it go


and never expect to be loved the way you love

That one line "love may be free, but it's not cheap," says more than the simple words. It sort of sums up the whole thought-provoking verse.

These are some of the most intuitive words I have ever heard.
Thank you for them.

Very enchanting poem and so very true. It is all too easy to fall in lust and so hard losing once you love. Insightful poem! Thanks for sharing the piece.

Stay well and keep writing.

Wise, indeed, though I doubt that it is possible to keep Cupid from
running off with such resolutions.

I, too, love the safe haven idea. Hopefully, t h a t resolution will remain intact. As for the others, throwing caution to the winds is . . .the definition of passion? Romance?

Thank you for this beautifully expressed and highly thought-provoking
offering.

Que sera, sera :) [shoulda checked the spelling} Sent with hugs and a premature but heartfelt Happy Valentine's Day,

feeling you on this touching poem Belle, hello Cuttie, it's hard not loving you and your verse. I think most of us guys would like to take a leap, then hope it would keep. Here's my poetic leap, right off your cliff, catch me baby. I'm still falling, falling, hey I wonder where I'll land, if I land. Oh who cares, I love being up. love&hugs

... somewhere, somehow, a door opened in my soul with these words and a floodtide from nowhere ripped through it. Your heart is seasoned with love and grace as surely and as sensually as the finest incense, Belle. A fragrant offering to self and others. Truly beautiful. Bless you, Kate xx

Aw, a lot of good advice, but when do harmones listen to good advice? It is usually a get-it-while-you-can kind of love that, yes indeed, does turn sour sooner rather than later . . . Good work here . . .

There is so much wisdom in your verses, love can hurt; but when it brings to fruit that rare flavor, you can be in seventh heaven.

" ... and never expect to be loved the way you love" Powerful thoughts. Yet, sometimes the love you receive exceeds one's capacity to return the love. Now, THAT is an incredible love!
