Love Is--

Love is sweet, love is sour; love is new, love is old; love is boring, and extraordinary! Love is All... all you forever need. (8-7-18)

Congrats on your win, indeed love is all that so true, I like how u highlight the paradoxical nature of love in your poem and from personal experience that's how love has been for me. Kudos. Pleez do write your thoughts/comment under my newest poem. I like the human interaction .

Thank you-- I think real love-- not the trite version in greeting cards -- is complex, even paradoxical at times (perhaps as it is between humans and God/Allah/Brahman).

Yes, I like the 'see-saw' that love often offers us, L.J., and that true love accepts lovingly. Congrats on your win. Sandra
