Broken, matured love

 Cup of Love


Mature love's drops on a well used cup,
Chipped and cracked by many a quarrel;
Linked together with platinum thread
— And sweet kisses — meaning I Love You!

From generation to generation
Of changing hands an heirloom became 
— A given life's flash, —  the sweetest tea
Ever to be made in this cup now!

Your words are a story projected into my mind and I can see and believe it all! Thank you for the deep story of that "cup"! Beautiful verse!

Love ya!

It does seem that quarrels sometimes make love grow deeper, for some reason. That cup certainly brings back memories, both good, and bad.

And there is certainly a difference between infatuation and mature love, hammered out while living life and all of its pitfalls and joys.

A conundrum: What the grandchildren should do with Grandmas antique china. As you've revealed in this piece, there [can be] poetic insights, and fine sentiment in heirlooms. I imagine, as long as we live, our memories will live, and they will always remain a part of us when we remember them. A fine insight, Carol, that lends itself to various interpretations. Enjoyed.

Succinct but very effective and to me, very symbolic as well. Love, peace, and best wishes to you, Carol.

I won't say this poem is perfection, but
it will do quite well for me until that perfect one comes along.
Thanks, Carol.
