Faces of Love

Love as clouded .... creates emotional confusion Love as doubted .... spins fear's illusion Love as exploited .... aids evil's intrusion Love as steadfast .... endures any emotion Love as sincere .... befits heart intentions Love as unselfish .... knows joyous union ...

Thank you for commenting on one of my first postings that got only one comment. I have always wondered if this poem would / could touch anyone in a significant way, a way that would match my own feelings when my muse came up with it. You have validated me and that means volumes. From my heart, thank you! I must come meet you on your pages when time allows (life in frantic season as of late). And, thank you for the CayCay compliment, credit goes to my Dad. All the best ... CayCay

Good poem CayCay! Great message in dissecting the types of love. This one has more of your experienced observations than just feelings. It's simple and to the point. It's just my preference but I'd do this as couplets and slide the lines together!

Excellent constructive comments. It is good to receive left-brained, cerebral and logistical feedback. Poems should be considered with both sides of the brain. A rewrite would not be difficult really. I am thinking on this. Again, I thank you ... CayCay Oh, I had thought the title a "curiosity generator."

Yes a couplet has to rhyme! I'm saying you can shove it together and create couplets (lots of work but you could do it; it be a great revamp) OR shove it together as a FV and add to final lines if you are going to separate in verse. Odd lines always makes the reader think you haven't finished. Our brains EXPECT 3 lines, 2 or 4 all the way down. It's a rework but SO WORTH IT. You might find your audience with just a renewing. I delete, rework, and come back with not so obvious a title. Keep us guessing! It's nice CayCay the core is strong!

You are so spot-on! I wrote this years ago when truly contemplating the different types I love I had OBSERVED. When I finished the write, I thought it good because, to me, the prose accurately described fact. I'd begun to think it only resonated with me. Doesn't a couplet have to rhyme? Thank you for commenting. Blessings ... CayCay
