Debbie Guzzi Poet Rhyme

Love? Bah!

All these insipid poems of Love
Love Lost….
Love Found….
What is this emotion that makes UP? Down?

All this frantic fretting
nail biting and bed-wetting.

What is this profound poetic notion?
What is the source of this commotion??

All these romantic, rabid, ramblings, of Love
Love Lost..
Love Found…
What is this emotion that makes UP? Down?

Palms pale and sweat,
brows furrow and frown.

All these horrid, hormonal, tizzies,
do little more than make one dizzy.
Love Lost…
Love Found…
Abandon this morose emotion 
right this curse, set in motion.

And, if I may, let me suggest, 
the route Narcissus took was best.
Love revealed…
Love found.
A love who’ll never let you down.

A love without product or prodigy
To fill the world with more dichotomy.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen February 15, 2010 at 4:42 PM Did I say the poem is super? Well, I think if is. Lovingly, Dane

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen February 15, 2010 at 4:41 PM Deb. Make sense of this brain twister. God is love. Christ is the "Light "of the world and we are made from the dust of the earth...Let's see. Electrons (light) in the beginning came from God moving...around imploded nuclear parts>>first atoms. All the were elements grouped and stranded together because God loves us. So, he made bodies and a place to live. OK. So, God, love started with chemicals, functions with chemicals, and is bound by physical and spiritual laws. Chemicals are. We choose.

Samir Georges February 15, 2010 at 3:26 PM As a philosopher this idea intrigues me. Chemical imbalance and the racing of our hearts. I think the concept of love is the bastard child of poets :). IT is nothing more than our biology at work, and we find a way to over dramatize, over elaborate and over emphasize the notion/emotion. But then again we do that with everything, it's a nature we've developed. Best not to fight society, Tyranny of the majority (CITE: KANT) is a bitter sweet thing.

Duke Beaufort February 15, 2010 at 1:39 PM Deborah--Body chemistry at work. Oh what it does to people. Of course, I have not been immune. Just a little sheepish and amused by it all. By the way, thank-you for your comment. It is a pleasure to read your work.

Isa Mahrie February 15, 2010 at 10:18 AM hehe i love the title smile as i read through it ... so what is love about i agree :)

Linda-Marie Sweetheart February 12, 2010 at 7:14 PM EXCELLENT!! in a word... a really different take on LUV ... luv.. Linda-Marie..

Maya Kaabour February 11, 2010 at 4:22 PM wow!!! I love this!

Debbie Guzzi February 11, 2010 at 12:32 PM Anyone else ever notice how some folks never "get a joke?"

Veronica Joseph February 11, 2010 at 11:08 AM Narcissum is the opposite of love, however all too common. Narcissum is being in love with your self which leaves no room for anyone else. Its also boring as hell. Ever know anyone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder? This just makes me cringe.

A. Kross February 11, 2010 at 6:02 AM Thanks so much for sharing these exceptionally amusing and all too often true feeling thoughts.

Jared Pickett February 11, 2010 at 4:52 AM Are you writing about me dear Barbara?.... EXCELLENT poetry today my friend.....:JP]

Constance La France February 10, 2010 at 8:12 PM Spectacular design and form you have created on the question of what is love, a question that has been asked through all time and thanks for your comment on my poety

Audrey Haick February 10, 2010 at 6:45 PM Aaah, Deb, but narcissism is so boring! It's like having a gift box with no gift within and no pretty strings or bow! LOL It's like having plain tea minus the sugar or honey! LOL Great write though! And what is this about Jimi's Naplan Scream??? My SM doesn't work so forgive me for using this medium to ask about that. Peace and love, Audrey
