Description
Love
They said to
Write about love
Because it's almost
That day
That day when
All we talk about
All we think about
Is love
It's impossible not
To think about love
Because it comes at us
From all direction
They tell us
Buy some candy
Buy some flowers
Buy some gifts
But they forget
What love is
What love means
What love wants
Love is deep
It is great
It is powerful
It is wonderful
When you have love
You're on top of the world
When you don't
You're at the bottom
So all we can do
Is find love
When and where we can
And take it
Take it and embrace it
That person
Who gives you
The love you want
Who gives you
His feelings
His heart
And his soul
Love him
Give him
Your heart
And your mind
Share your life
Your dreams
Your body
Your soul
This is love

mmmm good poem Mo. i like the short lines. makes it easy and quick to read, yet one can still get the msg and image your trying to bring across.

The thing about love is it doesn't need just a single pink-tinged, lace-frilly day to be recognized, and as usual, what you wrote captures that perfectly. I love the directness of this piece, and the ending of it echoes the things that I'm getting all geared up to do just as soon as I can...there's a body, soul, mind, and all sorts of other stuff that about to be given, of course I'm gonna shave and make myself all gussied up when the time comes--and hopefully it's soon--and with all of that in mind, I have to say that this wonderful bit of free verse has taken on a particularly poignant meaning for me...though I DO also have to admit that the direction my love is likely to take is probably a bit more...um...well...NC-17 to say the least!

Love and Hallmark actually have very little to do with each other! I'll take the real thing over the greeting card holiday version any day. Nicely put!

love is something which goes far beyond the cards, sentiments, candy and flowers. All of that eventually fades away. What lingers on, is in the heart...thru the good and the bad. Thanks for sharing this sentiment.

What a loverly paean to one of your favorite subjects, of which so many articles, poems and songs have been written! Whenever I see or hear the word, love, it reminds me of the old adage: God must have a sense of humor, because he invented love. Lovely soft effect of the yellow and amber colors in the image above, Marilyn!

Great work! If we all try to spread love to all that surrounds us: people, animals, plants, then John's words still make sense after all those decades : All you need is love! I will believe in that 'till the day i die!

Yes, quite the way I feel about Valentines day too. Love is too a precious thing to be "comercialised". You are a wondrous poet. :)

A wonderful tribute to the other 364 days when love is quiet, but sincere strong and supportive. Showing it is no less important.
