Love's Misconception

What is love to most?
A simple feeling
One may boast –
Nay!  I say –
There’s much more to Love –
More than what meets the eye
More than can be felt –
More than can be imagined –
Love is more often
A gross misconception!

Actions given from the heart –
Words can’t express –
Complete surrender
Of heart, body, soul and mind –
To this, you’ll surely be amazed!
The glory to be found
Happiness untamed and unbound –
Humility divine –
Your hearts and souls entwined!

Nothing need ever be asked –
Of each other 
You’ll already know –
And lovingly you both fulfill
The needs of the other –
The ways of love you show –
Your hearts aglow!

Love to the last breath
You both shall breathe –
By your sides 
You’ll never leave!
Physical love
Always monogamous –
Infinite pleasures ginormous!
In each other’s arms
You daily abide –
Conversation, no lack thereof –
Always and lovingly
Lending an ear


No hurt, no pain,
Or woe entangled!
Only Love, Faithfulness and Trust
Forever exists –
Unconditionally aware –
God at your center –
Children she’ll lovingly bear –
A glorious family
You’ll both share –
Their every need
Seen to with loving care!

Endless love you’ll always have –
As you both promised
In your wedding vows –
None violated
Nor shall be forgotten –
Put by the way side,
Neglected or downtrodden!

If on this path
You’re blessed to go –
Cherish always
This Love you’ll know –
For in these words
You’ll forever find –
A great connection,
No fault of mind –
Or disconnection
In true love, unconditional –
You mustn’t fall victim, 
Nor be drawn in to
Love’s Misconception!
