Love Fleeting Soul Control

            *******************

love fleeting 
                 moments
                         soul controlled
    promiscuity & 
            wantonness
                       winnow wheat 
                                    from chaff

    magically 
            besot
    bog-myrtle
           emblem

   shrewdness
          credence
                  communication
               intimacy & physical touch
          oversight
   laudation

     love binds
            oozes
               matters
                      expands
                              prevails. . . and sounds
                              spiritual 
                      visual
               reversal
      unperishable
  individable

  love is all around
  love is all about
  love is all we ask
  love is all we bestow
  love is all I have . . . 

                                     Joining 
                             flowing   counting
                        growing             knowing
                            asking         giving 
                        motivating    comforting
                                     having

   love is painful
                 fruitful
                      disdainful 
                                gainful
                                          baneful
                                          graceful
                                 hateful
                        archangel
                    playful
             baleful
      wakeful
unstable


 i love: love
     i am so in love
             in love with Joy
                       in love with happiness
              in love with anger
    in love with frustration
  in love with tears


love hurt,    love heal,                      love win,  love kill,
   love loose,   love catch,  love toss,  love match,     
           love fall   love is right   love is wrong,
                   love is weak,     love is strong,
            love rise    love tall,   love smile,    love frown,
love stay   love cease,                  love dream   love sing,

SP, Sweet poem. Being involved in emotions and enjoying them all is part of the cure for the blahs! If we can look kindly on ourselves and each other, what a great thing it would be for all. Just psychiatrists would be out of work, but I think they would find something to do they could enjoy.
