HOW DOES LOVE DIE


If it is not watered with love passion, responsibility,
Humor, sensuality, fun, trust, respect and loyalty,
Petal by petal, and leaf by leaf it is bound to die,
Too late, too late to cry.

Treasure each other, as you would a vintage wine,
Chill out, enjoy a romantic restaurant and dine,
Hold hands and look into each other’s eyes,
In summer, choose a table under star studded skies.

Respect is an absolute dire necessity,
Learn together to face life with its every adversity,
And disagree maybe but talk everything through,
And count your blessings that are far more than few.

Never go to bed angry with each other,
This is your husband or wife, your lifetime lover,
For you will wake up in the same frame of mind,
And perhaps this is not being understanding or kind.

Be proud of your partner you vowed to love forever,
Let no one come between you, make life an adventure,
Say ‘I love you' at least three times in a day,
Have no secrets, life will be happy in every possible way.

Life is too short to be angry. In saying that, why do I need to be dragged through underwear departments. Sure this is some sort of mad ritual women make men go through.

Hi Jennifer, I lost my soulmate in 2010 after 40 years of marriage, no one will ever take her place, my love for her still lives on. Enjoyed reading your wonderful poem.

Jennifer all I can say after reading this wonderful advice on loving one another, that those that seek counseling in a troubled marriage should have this hanging throughout their home to read everyday and follow each of your words. They are what every marriage needs. I want to congratulate you for sharing this awesome Poetry of yours. I also want to congratulate you for receiving such an Honor of POTD which you deserve. God bless you and keep on sharing your thoughts, to encourage others. Hugs.

This is perhaps the best advice I have read in recent times to keep love alive. Every suggestion if followed religiously can prolong your love life. Without too much of frills and wordplay, you have said everything in simple language. No wonder this is made poem of the day. Congratulations sweet friend. This goes into my FAVE.
