Love Is Free

At last thine heart came to me,
opened like a scalloped shell
holding for me its pearl.

Lay at my feet,
they love will claim my heart,
I sacrificed my passionate feelings
so freely.

Our love like the caged bird
was set free.

I bowed to your advances,
I kissed your passions
with my willingness
and blushing smile.

Come lie with me and be my lover,
forever in a passionate state.

Frozen love never thawed
nor moved for me,
until you came.

Love was set free.
Love is free.

Thank you very much. Yeah I can see that. I use to think that I needed someone else to love to be loved. But I have learned how to love myself. Actually when I did, that's when love found me. Having a relationship is hard work. It's the most selfishness thing anyone can do. Don't give up sometimes love comes when you are not prepared. Other times it comes when you are very much aware of it's coming. I have also learned love is not always a tingling feeling or a pretty thing. No one is going to be perfect for you. That's why we need to exsept others for who they are. You never know when that someone will be the one. I will read your work. I am glad you commented.
