Notes About The Poem

["Love" was first published in the Major Poets Anthology #6, Nina Henry, Editor, Prairie Press Books, Charleston, Illinois, 1969.]

Love

Love is like a masterpiece
Framed with a gilded edge,
Unmatched for worth or beauty
Like a pure unbroken pledge.
Love entwines and folds us
In everlasting arms,
Embraces all our sorrows
Releases our alarms.
Love does not come and go
In the whimsical affair,
It constant hovers over us
In kind, endearing care.
Love binds and holds together
Not a rift can tear apart,
In solemn, awesome pleasure
It lives within the heart.
