Power of Love

In a perfect world we are raised, then as teens some of us discover a new emotion called love, in a perfect world. But then we are not in a perfect world, compatibility it seems not quite as yet mastered by the human race unless of course. Religion rules and binds the ties or one’s countries laws demands, a one sided partnership of shackle and chains one that God himself demands, while woman demeaned. But what of the power of love is this not the equation? one that blankets the whole of the planet crossing the divide of religion, culture, age, Oh! Yes what about age, many today believe finding love a young emotion yet Cupid still infiltrates, he knows of no boundaries, just keeps on plugging away on this bow, his bloody arrows they do pierce the most fragile of hearts in this his global arena, but how the hell does one handle all of that emotion at an advanced age. The young yes the apprentice of love and the old, some are destroyed cannot handle some buggered some are life’s losers, stalkers of the innocent some spent, but what of those astute when confronted with Aphrodite her of pure perfection how the hell is one to combat that? this a ray of sunshine in the eve of one’s years, only by believing in the power of love!!!! © Harry J Horsman 2013

I think I've been hit by one of those arrows, lol. Good job, Harry. I love it so much. It's always good to love and be in love. It's the greatest feeling. Love knows no boundaries, age or anything. Enjoyed!

Yes, I think some old couples are hanging on to old memories as opposed to living in love in the present. Good thoughts Harry.

What is there to protect ourselves from those arrows? it seems nothing. What do we do when they strike home? Who knows? That's a problem harry, will there ever be an answer? I love this work, it asks so many questions that essentially cannot be answered.
