Love is not a living thing It is not born of moonlit night It does not grow in sun's loving light Not of Hope springing eternal; Nor beauty personified, Or time immortal Love is not a tangible thing Not to be felt as summer wind's kiss Can't be granted with a hopeful wish It is not the sun, the moon, the sky; It is not a rose, or the light in your eyes Love is not a living thing Not of Hope springing eternal; Nor beauty personified Love is not a living thing For living things have to die (How's this for your challenge, JM? Can I use one of my older ones?) |

Love is not a living thing Not of Hope springing eternal; Nor beauty personified Love is not a living thing For living things have to die ------------------ Love is not a living thing? I've not thought of it this way before. How can it not be alive... when it makes my heart soar? And isnt it a breathing thing... that allows my heart to sing? Is it not of living molecules? why does it make us all act like fools? Does love not live and breathe? this theory of yours is new to conceive. Yet the more I read your words of grace.. the more a smile finds my face. As always your words are true... I long to be as wise as you. Yes, living things in time must go, but true love is eternal, this we know. Love may not be a living thing... but it is my everything. True love does not die...it is here forever more... How poetic & ironic then is the fact... it is the one thing I would lay down & die for. jm ***** jer, you may use what ever poem you wish... all your words are perfect... and the last line of this one proves my point. poetic perfection, you are. I will have to think of a harder challenge for you... this one was too easy (BIG SMILE) *L*  stalking you always, your jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

back to the top... I can do this...its my challenge(smile) stalking on the weekends your jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

this is a very well written poem, with a very interesting viewpoint on love. I dont know what JM'S challenge was, but I'm sure she is quite pleased with your offering. gemini I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes I want to be the touch you need every single night I want to be your fantasy And be your reality And everything between I want you to need me, like I need you. celine dion |
