Love Without a Condition

So many reasons given for love
on why 'I love you' but is that true?
why do we need a reason for it?
many love letters written but what's new

Can we not love yes L-O-V-E
just because that's what we feel
hey do we need to feel to know it
give it your tongue withy a squeal

She loves you yea! yea! yea! Beatles said
knowing it can't be bad but is it really good?
you want to love that's so very indescribable
blows your whole being it doesn't need be nude

This needs a special person no less
where, why or when is the question
well life has the answer out there
so go out to feel love your lesson

Love is such a special feel effect
an explanation beyond your mind
when one senses what it's about
you know for sure love can't be blind


("Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason, not 'I love you if you love me.' It's love for no reason, love without an object.")
- Ron Dass

I fully agree with the quote at the end and I like the way your poem makes us examine our own thoughts about what love is. I think people who love unconditionally are more capable of forgiveness too. One day we may learn that love is all that matters in our lives. Best wishes, Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, thanks for your comment really insightful how you connect unconditional love with forgiveness, it sounds obvious though hadn't thought of it before.Have a blessed day, Gordon

Feeling verse action. Mother Teresa showed us the true meaning of love with each action of caring she provided. We can’t say we love our brother and let him suffer. Your poem causes me to ponder. Thanks.

That unconditional love keeps my husband and I, who are opposites, together. I enjoyed this Gordon. We can't help who we love, even if it is from afar. New year blessings. xxoo

Wouldn't it be great Gordon if there was indeed more love in this world without condition. What a beautiful world it would be. Hope your new year has got off to a good start. Tom
