Love cannot be bought, it is a gift from one to another Love must be earned once given, else love can be lost forever Love should be worn proudly like a lace gown, it should not smother Love joins two people, it can never be used as a lever Love must be returned, else it will die a slow, tormented death Love must be mutual, it cannot be just a one way street Love must be shared, for unshared love too soon will take its last breath Love must be exchanged, it will not live in only one retreat Love is fragile, it must be treated with care and a caring Love is delicate, it must be handled with understanding Love is tender, kindness is needed with a dash of daring Love is intimate, it needs just two people for the branding Love becomes the growing bond between a woman and a man Love overcomes most obstacles like no other feeling can. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth [This message has been edited by Interloper (edited 07-02-2001).] |

Lone Wolf ~ Yes, it does. Thanx for the read Ron ~ Well, I guess you can write of love, given your obvious limitations, should you feel the need. Just Email me and I will explain the complexities as you feel the need to learn If you only knew how wide the smile is on my face right now my friend. |
