Carole Duet Poet Rhyme

Love Waits

The fool says,

"If I do not love I'll feel no pain.
  I'll hide here
  safe within my fear,
  without hot breath
  with that kiss of living death."

But Love says,

"I'm waiting until you're ready,
   hungry for my pleasure
   and strong for my pain.
   until you're ready
   to forgive and forget
   and let me in again."

Arthur Vaso September 4, 2016 at 6:40 PM Very beautiful poem, I think we always fight between the 2 verses! Carole Duet September 4, 2016 at 8:43 PM Yeah, you're right, Arthur (Halil). But, then there's make-up sex! lol Anyway, thanks for your nice comment.

Kim Rodrigues September 4, 2016 at 12:15 PM Lovely! Yes hurt comes when you love so much but the love in all its facets is worth it! Still we don't dig the pain ;) Carole Duet September 4, 2016 at 8:39 PM So true, Kim, but you are right: it IS worth it. Love is always tested "by fire" so to speak. Thanks for your comments.

Daniel Turner September 4, 2016 at 7:59 AM In my fairy tale, Love's not supposed to hurt. But then again, that is where true love is found, in fairy tales.Lol Enjoyed the read Carole. Carole Duet September 4, 2016 at 8:35 PM Well, I'm glad you liked it...but I refuse to even think true love is only in fairy tales, Daniel. xox
