Love Wherefore Art Thou Love wherefore art thou my dear? Art thou held here within this tear? This small crystal droplet that falls That makes of mine own heart fools Love wherefore art thou now lying Art thou gone leaving me crying? This tear that breaks open my heart That tears my desolated soul apart Love wherefore art thou my sweet? Art thou found in the hearts heat? These ashes that once blazed high Art thou lost in loneliness sad sigh? Wherefore should I seek you again? Why art thou offering me your pain? Art thou hiding your light from me? Leaving me without your pure beauty Love wherefore art thou my dream? Art thou found in this living stream? These emotions that once sang loud Now silent not standing there proud Will I ever hear your voice again? Will I ever dance in your blest flame? To feel thy power washing over me Love I shall desire you for all eternity Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Lovely and sad....I wonder if love goes someplace special to rest up for the next time we need it? |

I think love waits for us to learn what we need to, to appreciate all it offers us....so we may recognize it when it finally comes to us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Very beautiful Mushy  SEA |

I like what PDV said about love going somewhere until we need it next....makes you wonder doesn't it? This is so sad but also so much of your soft and wonderful heart Mushy...I hope you find that your dreams will come true...I've always believed that they will if you want them to bad enogh...take care Mushy ...love to ya!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Sometimes we want love so much that we believe we see it where it is not...the step from friendship to love is a big one that needs to be carefully taken...someday perhaps I will learn to take it at the proper time...James |

Its kind of like holding on to the edge of a cliff and holding on to the person you very almost love....it is so scary. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |

Oh Juliet my gentle flower thou knowest not of love's power thou hide'st thy heart inside the bower then from love's touch thou dos't cower Thou gave thy heart forever free 'twas then love turned imprison'd thee but thou must trust and vict'ry see when love shelters in thy lee But wait lest love bypass thou crown and look not away nor up or down when love returns to lift thy frown thou wils't say tis love I own then knowest thy will of love's power to keep thee every day and hour. Marsha look what you made me do. The whips will get me everytime. Write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Hi Marsha, Splended poetry so enjoyed, and the replys you got so full of wisdom, sometimes I think im blind to love because it carrys with it alot of pain I have found, not letting the good in it grow larger than the pain, thank you one I shall keep in my library.

Thank you all so very very much for taking the time to read this, I'm sure that love goes hiding, otherwise I'd find her easier to locate. I do appreciate all of your comments and words of wisdom, thank you so very much. Take care love as always Mushy   Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
