Levels

different kinds of love
different levels of love

love for our children
love for parents, siblings
love for another
love for a place
or book, or hobby

we can't help 
what we feel or when
we can conceal or bury
not healthy!
like cream, it still
rolls to the top
it's what you do
about it that counts

unrequited
harsh, hurtful, hell
no matter how soft
the words, it is still
just that, rejection
reflect, redirect, remove
reason

move on

Yes other cultures have different words for the different kinds of love and I guess we do also. We just don't use them correctly. I like the way that you put the ideas together. Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. Sara
