Long Live Love

The greatest feeling ever felt By human beings Is the loving touch of another soul It's the ultimate sensation known to man It is as natural as breathing For centuries, poets have tried to describe it But their efforts always fall short This indescribable sensation Overpowering, all consuming feeling Like no other As we age the thrill diminishes Becomes less intense But never does it leave us More than anything else, it is why we exist Can't imagine a world without love LONG LIVE LOVE! © Jack Ellison 2014

There is always romance if you open yourself up to receive it. I like your poetry. I was checking to see who else is Canadian and came across your name. I enjoyed reading some of your work.

I don't believe the world would exist for long without love, Jack. It truly is the glue that holds mankind together. Very nicely written, my friend.... Robert.

Awwwwww....there you go, Kenny. You are a true romantic at heart. How have you been? This is a lovely poem. I've been struggling of late...thinking of leaving the soup. It just isn't the same anymore. I miss you. Hugs to Cathie. She and I communicate on FB. She is a sweetie pie...and so are you! Hugs, my dear.

How about Long Live Jack and Cathie! Dragon's and my... most favorite love birds in the Whole World! Talked to John Wulf. He and Sue are well. They're reading poems but not writing any, too busy, in retirement. I've started my 3rd contest. If you have any fables laying around, Don't forget to enter. Put your name on it if you want. I judge gently. Keep us entertained with your writing. Dragon and I are the kind of friends that have become attached. Yes, we're aweful... But wish you the best.
