Maurice Yvonne Poet Narrative

For You My Brothers and Sisters With Love

love is vital
 if you find it fight for it
 we give up too quickly on our partners
 
we need to be in touch with our hearts not our minds 
would you fault a rose because it has thorns? 
their perfectly weaved petals alone 
forgives the little blood they might draw

cherish one on one love
 it is the serum that sustains us
as important as water
it is the meals give us sustenance 

it is easy to quit on someone 
easy to snort the drug infatuation
 new union comes with a substantial boost of adrenalin
 but what goes up must come down. 

that is the frustration of drugs
 the high is fleeting 
true love does not happen by accident
 it is a conscious commitment 
 nurture your love
 never leave your garden unattended
 don’t wait until you lose it 
to see the writing on the wall

love on its own contains
 our purpose 
our joy 
our success
 our fulfillment
if you have found it grab on and never let go 
it just may be the last rose in the garden

Christine Costello September 6, 2014 at 11:01 AM Awesome write! "we need to be in touch with our hearts and not our minds" so true, so much more important to know the heart. Thank you for a beautiful verse this afternoon. :-) Christine Maurice Yvonne September 6, 2014 at 12:03 PM Thank you for taking the time to read it and the effort to comment so kindly.

Debra Squyres August 31, 2014 at 4:24 PM This has a soul-exploring depth in my mind. It reaches beyond the infatuation, the tease, the occasional please...digs in and then offers a real taste of the meat.... that which sustains the heart is worth fighting for. Maurice Yvonne August 31, 2014 at 8:34 PM WOW. I like your comment better than my write. I am giving you an 11 out of 7. thank you so much for dropping in.

Jan Allison August 31, 2014 at 2:16 PM Lovely write on love and commitment and actually working at a relationship - so easy to give up when the going gets tough. Make sure your garden stays well watered and if what goes up doesn't come down seek medical attention ! Hugs jan xxx Maurice Yvonne August 31, 2014 at 3:50 PM love you Jan. God Bless. Jan Allison August 31, 2014 at 2:29 PM :-) I try to have laughter in my life and in most of my poems if i can Maurice but it is so so so tough at the moment but today is a very good day just had good news about my writing partner slowly recovering from his illness so I have a massive grin on my face and a glow in my heart:-) Hugs Jan xx Maurice Yvonne August 31, 2014 at 2:25 PM true. also remember laughter is the best medicine........unless your diabetic......and then...insulin....insulin is the best medicine. thank you. love you.
