---My Love For You---

Love's been compared,
To a beautiful bird.
Love's like a flower in bloom,
I have heard.

Is it the warmth
In a summer night's breeze?
Is it the green,
In the leaves on the trees?

My love for you,
Is like none of those things
Not a plant, nor a breeze,
Nor a bird with bright wings.

You see, it's like nothing
That walks or that flies.
For the birds and the plants,
Yes, even the wind, will all die.

Some men see things as they are and ask "WHY ?" I see things as they could be and ask "WHY NOT ?"

love is undescriptive in so many ways sometimes there isnt enough words to do love justice, but the warmth of a smile does wonders this is beautiful

LonelyStranger~

A lovely thought that love will not die~
But even if it should
a vestige of it remains in the memories
it has etched on our hearts
and no one can take our memories

Just a lovely write.

Evening Lonely Stranger,

Liked this very much, and so true the last verse.

Lonely Stranger,

Very nice writing.  I too believe that true love will never die.  Here is to you finding the one you seek some day.  Powerful emotion here.

Lonely Stranger, with poetry like this, surely your writing name is a misnomer? This is sweet, tender, and full of devotion. Thank you.
