Never Weary In Spirit

Love is young like a delicate rose- petal
So easily flung, devoured by transient blooms
Reckless the endings  with salty lips of passion
Only to find it is all about moonlit conquests.

Love is a mirror of anger, perhaps a cry
An obsession to hold when one feels alone;
This clutch grasping unto shadowed vines of fear
Possessing the other for ruthless exploitation.

Some of the aspectsof this thing called L is elusive for me but your stream of deep insights makes me ponder.A journey conveyed through enchanting verses never to be forgotten. " To see God’s face in a partner’s gentle eyes", top-rate weaver. Thank you!

I'm not too sure about love on the human plane of existence. I get more and more dubious as I grow older. Your final line is the solution of course, but so difficult in these times. Always great stuff, nette.. Love, daver
