Love Cannot Be Manufactured

Love cannot be manufactured in the grit and grunt factory MAKE IT HAPPEN mentality Is lame Love is a blinding light reality Perhaps more like a gentle awakening A growing awareness of a fragrance whose permeation has reached fullness Becoming heady, strong It’s been there all long But now it burst into throaty song Love cannot be manufactured Love cannot be commanded It cannot be stolen Enticed Love refuses to be BOUND No, Love is an entity that VISITS that touches. When welcomed, LOVE LOVES TO DWELL- an indwelling spirit It places a DO NOT DISTURB sign on the heart's door Protecting the union of souls from the prying eyes outside Love cannot be manufactured This I have learned As a testament to this timely truth I DECLARE: Love cannot be manufactured I love you, I declare With my own poetic flair In this, my meaning, luxuriant Let my love your heart satiate For my love, Be sure of this: Love cannot be manufactured I love you And on this Declaration of Dependence on You I rest my case!

It cannot be manufactured because beauty is not found in repetition. Everyone's love is unique to them. Profound and elegant, dear Eileen. I rest my case.

I enjoyed this! I especially like the word, luxuriant. Hey, I just wrote a blog. You seem so HUNGRY for anything to do with writing... so I wrote something about reading, but I know you will see that the true intent of my column is the craft of poetry. If/when... take a read. Let me know. Like? Hate? All good! Mwa!

Hon...going to the airport in less than two hours. Will be away for ten days. Will try to check sometime. Thanks for your visit here, Cyndi. I'd love it if you visit the poem before this one, I'm Hungry for You. I tried to incorporate some of those comma and hyphen tricks you did on your erotic piece. See if I went for overkill. Love ya! Hugs

This is such a sweet and strong honesty from the law of love in your precious heart. Your Declaration is firm yet so tender and obvious. Your metaphors are truths, and beautiful in definitive declaration Eileen. Wow, what a amazing woman you are! J.A.B.

Your last sentence....is a declaration that I will cherish, Justin! :) A woman always needs to feel good about herself. It is declarations like these that give her faith in her own ability. That faith makes her bloom. Thanks for watering this flower.

Love is something We can't formulate,fabricate,hatch or construct.Love is a licing emotion which can't be both nor sold.Each love is different..and We are in love with someone ,our hearts are fulfilled with him alone.Yes love can t be manufactured,maybe thst s why its price is high.Yes We have to inveyt so much in it,and it is rare and beautiful.So much to ponder in your verses.Wise ,Wise words indeed..Charma

Thanks, beautiful Charmaine. I've become a little less critical...I think, if this or that person really loves...this or that person...let it be. If it is true love, let it be. Life brings circumstances to us that are at times out of our control. I don't know. Maybe my mind is being too secularized. I know that commitment should last a lifetime. Anyway...my post is confusing, I'm sure. Just thanks for being such an amazing friend. Hugs
