Agape Love, Or Lie

that paper— void of agape love— is like a hand without a glove
who told that blame lie?!—sweet as pie....

preacher crack open the "Good Book" and pretend words he or she took—  NOT!!!
who told that blame lie?!...

what God has put together let no man put asunder—what a lying blunder—God had nothing to do with it
who told that blame lie?!...

knocked up—lust—big bank account—good cook—
good catch
agape' love no where in the batch
who told that blame lie?!...

that paper— stronger than steel shackles...

that paper— invented roun' 'bout 1503 A.D.—  would hold hostage you and me
who told that blame lie?!...

but know the truth— and the truth will set you free—free from the lie that binds
agape' love— is the only love that is one of a kind...

hard to find—but—when you do—you know it —when you know it
and that— ain't no blame lie....


Inspired by the movie; "Things Never Said"

By the by, Phyliss, I have just taken a gander (Which, I wager, is more than a certain other person will do) on Amazon concerning your book...The rave reviews are rather encouraging for you - Good luck with that! :) john

Phyllis, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Hi Linda, thanks so much for the welcome and opportunity to post.. I hope my work is viewed as intended; meaningful. I also authored a book titled "Wasted Pearls" you may also like to check out as well. It is available on the amazon website (e-book) I have a second work in progress and taking a little break from it and decided to put words to something near and dear to me. I'm not concerned about it being perfect; but meaningful. And with that said, I am very much open to constructive criticism though. I look forward to reading your work.. And again, thanks my New Poet Friend! Phyllis
