Love's Destiny

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

For a poet, in his realm of verbage, there is no room for moral relativity. All readers are equal recipients of words that may improve their lives. And , sometimes, the heaviest of emotions, love, can become light enough to float above the orb of ignorance…
never to know purchase again, yet never to fade away forever. (Paintng by Oznat Zadok)

Love’s Destiny

 

 

Happiness can be oh so short

But oh, so lasting.

 

To think one is loved,

To perhaps doubt such at a later date,

Can’t extinguish the fire of belief.

 

Love’s happiness can be designed

To last,

Or

To teach,

Or

To give respite to aloneness,

Or

Be what it needed to be

One time,

Long ago,

In the yesterday

Of

Yesterdays

That will live through

The

Tomorrow

Or tomorrows.

For

Love is forever

Even when it’s not present beside happiness.

Very true. And beautifully written.

I like the point you raise about love's purpose: it may not be there just to make us feel happy. Love serves many reasons in the burning of its flame.

So true. It is the brief moments of intense love that are so lasting. The ones we think about so many years later. And then there's the kind of love that smiles every day and kisses every night. That is very lasting, too.
