Love Was Inocent

Love was Innocent

At one time, love was innocent.
At one time , love was pure.
At one time, love was true.

How I wish that time -  came back,
when two people fell in love at first 
sight. After that their love would grow.

Love was innocent long ago Today, love 
is not what it used to be. The word ( Love )
now is used too freely.

Love is not innocent no more. It has been 
taken advantage of. The word ( Love ) has
been used and abused...

Paul Callus July 2, 2014 at 4:11 AM Hi Lucilla! I hope you are doing well after hospital. I agree with you...'love' has lost its true meaning and as you say it has been "used and abused". The same applies to life values. They get twisted round to suit individual needs. Take care. // paul

Hani Gholami June 24, 2014 at 4:01 PM Beautiful writing. I am a newbie but would appreciate if you could read my latest poem "Broken" and "second thought" and let me know what you think. Your friend, Hani Lucilla Carrillo June 24, 2014 at 4:36 PM Thank you so much for reading this poem. I will read your poems later, right now I just got out of the hospital.

Bl Devnath June 23, 2014 at 10:22 PM Very nicely worded about love at the first sight and how advantage is taken with this in the latter stage of life. It's true that it's not applicable in respect to all people. Loved always, my lovely friend, bl

Vera Duggan June 17, 2014 at 10:13 PM I agree Lucilla, love is taken for granted these days, it's all about sex, the word love is such a beautiful word, when I fell in love I really and truly meant it but as you said to Peter we are from the old school, beautiful write take care my dear..............Vera,...............

Poet Tacito June 17, 2014 at 9:52 PM You're so very right. But, I can say that it's not dead, nor is it non-existent. It's just sleeping, waiting to be valued for what it really is again. Great, great read! Lucilla Carrillo June 17, 2014 at 10:01 PM Thank you Drake. Love will indeed always exist.

Justin Bordner June 17, 2014 at 2:31 PM Once more your wisdom serves poetry and the world well Lucilla. Maybe love is a strange weakness for me at times, but I truly believe love is never wrong, and when I feel love I acknowledge it without regret, regardless of how it's received and treated. I refuse to deny love expression. Maybe I'm reckless, or a simple fool, but at least I know what love is. Thanks for reminding me of this Lucilla. J.A.B. Lucilla Carrillo June 17, 2014 at 3:10 PM Thank you for reading. I too experienced love once. Love can be a beautiful sentiment , when two people share the same feeling. Blessings always.
