Give Love a Chance

you’re all at sea I’m on land, if you trust me try take my hand, look past the others drowning in quicksand, do not struggle too much we’ll only need one touch true love is unplanned, levitating in dreams atop blue strands, our one chance to be united as woman and man A STRAND (1059) Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian strand 25/01/22

Yes, real love is so unplanned..... ! It can come down at an unexpected moment in an unexpected manner ! Beautifully illustrated in wonderful lay out, David !

Thank you Valsa, sorry I only spotted your comment now, the layout is a bit unorthodox, speaks volumes about me, cheers David

When both sides make that trust it creates that unbreakable bond of true love. . Very creative layout David. Hope weekend is going well. Tom

Thank you Tom, the layout is symmetrical to try give balance to true love rather than one sidedness, as your comment wisely says trust must come from both sides if it’s to work, weekend going by so fast, so I must be enjoying it lol, Hope yours is going well too, cheers David

Wow, David, you've written a brilliant piece of poetry. You have a giving attitude and wish to offer a helping hand to everybody in need. However, it would be wonderful if we could all sacrifice some of our time and effort to continue providing a bit of assistance to those in need.

Indeed it would Lasaad, All I try offer in my poems is to open peoples minds, but I sometimes approach from a different abstract direction, thank you so much for kind comments, cheers David
