Lord R. E. Taylor Poet Free verse

My Name Is Love

My name is Love
I am the name everyone wants to hear
You pray your whole life just to hear it once
It is a name that can comfort
Bring two people together
Making their lives better, happier
It’s also a name that can frighten
Ruin a relationship if it is used to early
Destroy hope if it is used to late
Four letters, one syllable, one word 
That brought down the walls of Troy
Made Romeo and Juliet legends
Empires were built and destroyed because of me
Two lovers started a new life by just saying my name
My name is Love
Use my name sparingly
Only with an open heart
Only when it is spoken in truth
Will it be the one name spoken
That will heal a broken heart
Bring a smile to a young girls face
Give hope to an innocent child
And keep the world turning as it always should

Carrie Richards May 9, 2009 at 10:03 AM This is terrific, Robert....such good advice....this word, " love" isn't something that you throw around lightly...one should use it carefully and surely.

Charlene Bird May 8, 2009 at 8:22 PM This is excellent writing Robert! A four letter word that has the power to heal and kill! Thanks for your kind comments on my work, always apprecitated.
