love song

love so powerful
alluring in its promise
until in its song
one becomes lost forever
to those not understanding

Music is LOVE in search of a word.
Very nice tanka, thank you, Nancy.

~Life may not be the song you requested,
But as long as you're here you might as well dance~

The most beautiful music is heard when in love! Your tanka is music to my ears.

ohh, i like tankas!

you need to explain the last two lines to me though..if one doesn't know the meaning of love, how can he be lost to those who also don't understand?

enlighten me, ya..

woosh where did all these comments come from? lol -- thanks for your thoughts peoples! i like the comment "music is love in search of a word", it seems to me a tanka can be built from that statement without too much effort.

rosepetals, quite a few of my recent posts are tankas. i have this sudden and annoying affinity toward form. hopefully i'll get over it before too long and return to blank/free verse.  

faterider, let me see if i understand your question ... you are asking how one who doesn't know the meaning of love can be lost to those who also do not know the meaning. well... i think i choose a vauge sort of answer for now: the word "meaning" does not appear in "love song", now does it.  

cheerfulness all.
