Love, I believe, simply is That it can be neither given nor taken but rather, only shared as would a hearth or a bed That it is immutable and cannot be corrupted That what would bring jealousy envy, avarice or lust is spurious and is not love Nor can love be consumed For no matter how deeply we draw the well remains undiminished I would say that love is innocent That it is as wholly unaffected by cutting blades and dragging weight As it is by the notion that I could dress mine in a cloak cut from the fabric of night adorned with stellar mythologies And clasped at the throat with the crescent moon |

The third stanza was GREAT!! THE WHOLE POEM WAS GREAT!!!!!! Sometimes all you can do is sit back and admire, which is exactly what I'm gonna do!!! If you're not yourself, then there is no you. |

When you find such love, you've found the only important thing, the only thing that is truly valuable. Everything else becomes window dressing. Bless you for this. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

You said it perfectly...Absolutely smashing Bro.. i'm keeping it. Maree  Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Wranx, You've got me hooked on your poems since I've begun. How could I have missed your artisty? And yes, "That it is immutable and cannot be corrupted That what would bring jealousy envy, avarice or lust is spurious and is not love" |

"As it is by the notion that I could dress mine in a cloak cut from the fabric of night adorned with stellar mythologies And clasped at the throat with the crescent moon" And we get to read this for free?! I know you will think I flatter.... I am only telling you that you are sitting on a volume of amazing work that I would pay for, no kidding -- not meaning to flatter, only being honest. |
