Go For It All

If you are in love
Take stock of your actions.
Because words like dove
secure no affection.

Hold their hand
Kiss their face
Slide on a golden band
show they can't be replaced.

Love is for the warriors of doing
the disciples of yes
Take that chance, get going
Impress.

This reader here, is impressed. Each line packed a punch - no meandering around, but get straight to the point. You may know a person by their fruits - never stare at a person's mouth when they are speaking, but instead a person's feet when their walking. Great poem!

I like it that you are a doer, not merely a dreamer. A stand up guy.
