How long can Love wait?




"How long can Love wait?"

The world could end tomorrow; 
we hold the world in our hands,
and Love waits, bides its time;
when the call comes, for Love,
we run and hide, or we shoot strait -

How long can Love wait?

The world could end tomorrow 
we hold the world in our hands 

the Heart's closed, 
or an open gate

Love this poem dear LL. So well written and expressed as always. Very profound and thought provoking, ‘ and love waits, bides its time’ ‘ the heart’s closed, or an open gate’. Love those lines especially. I love all your creative, artistic poetry as they are always so meaningful and beautifully deep. You are an incredible and talented soul. I loved the accompanying picture and musical piece as well. Thank you for sharing. Love and blessings to you for a happy, creative weekend. Xx:):)
