If Only Love

If only love
was as simple as a kiss.
I can do that well.
My lips touching hers
in silky tenderness.

If only love were
as simple as a hug.
I'm good at that.
Why can't that be love?

If only love was as
simple as a touch.
I certainly wish
that was love
because I can never
be touched enough.

If only love was as
simple as a smile.
I'd smile for you
and I'd love you too
until all your
dreams come true.

If only love was a
simple act of caring
then I would already
be in love with you
and this would be love
that we are sharing.

A good reflective love poem, James. Love is never simple, is it? It's never been simple for me anyway, except in a general sense. One-to-one romantic love is probably the hardest thing on earth to explain, the whys and wherefores seem to vary with each couple. And to actually have and hold onto? I hope that you will be one of the lucky ones.
If only I had a better reply.

(sigh) You are sooooooooo romantic, sweet friend, this is soooooooo beautiful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

*sigh* you know what I think, James. I think it is as simple as all these things but we have to go and make it complicated. Beautiful writing. **Hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

If only love were
as simple as a hug.
I'm good at that.
Why can't that be love?

If only love was as
simple as a touch.
I certainly wish
that was love
because I can never
be touched enough.
====================================

SBJ ... the longing in this reflective write touches me....its does seem like it should just be that simple...I guess human nature is too complex in matters of the heart.
you ask all the right questions in this clever poetic pondering. I love the anologies you made here.
