Frances Schiavina Poet Rispetto

Love Actually Is

Perfect love is long suffering forgiving 		
The one who cuts you with a sharp lightning dart 
The one who carves your heart and leaves it bleeding 
That trusted best friend with whom your love departs
Perfect love is truly happy in giving
Its riches remain unlocked and free to part
With open hands gives cheerfully and expects
Few to return to thank and the rest forgets
