A Love Poem

In this day and age, it's a rare occurrence To have feelings so deep that it hurts People are absorbed in their own little world A show of love, they try to avert There's no greater feeling in this old world Than the feeling of happiness love brings Be they man or woman it makes no difference It's a feeling that makes our hearts sing You can actually go through an entire lifetime And not know this feeling divine The triumph of joy and true happiness It can only be described as sublime It can lift your spirits on the darkest of days And help you through all of life's storms A beacon of light in a dark sky of grey Nothing else creates a feeling so warm © Jack Ellison 2012

Hey there to you too. Thanks for the review and the stars. This is so true. I appreciate this verse. I have known that love once in life, and it is something that lasts a life time. I feel the same as you about FS. I check in to see if they have found some actual poets, but I think they all got tired of the C*** that was going on. I appreciate your input. Peace. Linda

Are you still a member of FS or have you cut the ties? My membership was up in August and I don't think I'll renew. Was a member for three years! It was a bunch of fun at the beginning but it became much too competitive recently. It's time to move on. Hope you have a ball here... met some fantastic people already! Love and big hugs, Jack
