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.

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

a unique look at love (or lack of it). Probably no concept is more mistakenly identified as the emotion of love.

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
