Love's Fragility

Love is such a fragile sentiment
So oft confused with sex,
So in our daily double dealings
We render it is so indefinable
Like the faint flicker of a candlelight
That is blown out by our despair,
An intimate venue of self-torture.
We add to its impenetrable obscurity
Blowing the flame right out,
Thus our outrageous shadows 
Are silently snuffed out.
Until we accidentally meet again,
And Love blossoms again.

Shirley Hawkins May 27, 2023 at 9:35 PM Love is fragile. It used to be falling in love that led to intimacy, and hopefully, that love was true and lasting. I know that is too simplistic, but it is a lovely thought. Look after yourself, Victor. Shirley

Beryl Edmonds May 24, 2023 at 2:32 AM Victor, love is fragile and needs tender cosseting care to keep the flame alight each day of our life. Lovely poetry… Belle

Eve Roper May 23, 2023 at 10:52 PM So very true, so many are confuse what the true meaning of love is..

Andrea Dietrich May 23, 2023 at 12:54 PM a unique look at love (or lack of it). Probably no concept is more mistakenly identified as the emotion of love.

Judy Ball May 23, 2023 at 10:59 AM Oh I do agree Victor. I get so tired of people calling sex "love". I get tired of explaining that love is the emotional, deeply moving feeling you have for someone very special that you greatly admire and value in your life. Sex is an urge that too many people make a dirty joke out of. It is a beautiful blessing if you treat it the way God intended us to. Few people do. Great write as always my friend. God Bless, JB

Valsa George May 22, 2023 at 8:35 PM Love is fragile and vulnerable. It can be easily extinguished. So we have to keep its flame alive and aglow.
