If we be love

We give love

We take love

We make love

 

If we be hurt

We shake love

We break love

We invert love

We skirt love

We desert love

 

If we be loved

From the start

From the mother-heart

We grow love

We know love

We show love

A reflective masterpiece of communicating love in the simplest, yet most dynamic terms. Kudos.

You definitely have your own "signature style" that shines forth in your artwork. Your poem is most fitting for Valentine's Day, exploring the intricacies of love.

Simply and perfectly penned, Diana.

Simply, but powerfully stated. My kind of poem. And complemented by that beautiful woman in ghastly colors as though she might be a ghost of what love is, hard to grasp.

As I read I was reminded of the famous poem shared with me one time by a professor at my university who taught poetry and writing and helped me get started with my novels and short stories. Eventually telling me, "Ron, your work is too scary for me to read."

The poem was written back during the struggle for equal rights in the 60s. It was written by a famous underground female black poet in the struggle. I probably could find it searching the web for you but I haven't. It begins…

"We be…
(It is a very short poem like yours with very hard-hitting words… Ending with…)

We be dead soon."
