Bereft-Of Love

I stammer and stutter Trying to find words I am all muddled up Tongue-tied I guess I am dumb I just can’t seem To make sense To you what I mean Am I wired up wrong? Are my wires crossed? Do I have wires at all? What are these wires Doc. You are putting on my head? I think it is shocking They way they treat people These days All I needed –was to be loved Love is action- not only in words Understanding is -the wellspring of life ©?

I enjoyed your poem, Brenda. We live in a world that is Bereft of Love. Lust is called Love and commitment is shot; most have grown cold and love they know not. Thanks for your kind comment on my PoetrySoup entry. You have a face that is filled with love, so I do hope you are truly being loved in return. We all need some. God bless, M :)

Love in my Savior bears me through where love is cold and he has surrounded me with lots of love in return. Thank you for your loving care, Brenda : )
