No Guarantee

There is no guarantee
when it comes to the 
heart...

though love released with
sincere eternity – our carriers,
though Homers of loyal wings
transverse a sky of hawks

There is no guarantee
when it comes to matters
of interpersonal love – only God knows
man's truest beats – for the mortal heart
is an aggressor
while also retreats

Love, indeed!~ is a campaign of sorts

armies of feelings going forth

entrenchment on both sides

love often hides

while never a victory without
two fond surrenders

Thank you thank you, Sally; I really don't know how to respond. You have made my day. Blessings my friend. So pleased this work has stirred such passionate response. Our natural inclination is to lift one another. Your comment has certainly brightened my day.

Ahh yes but when two surrender to love, magic happens, but it depends on the power of the magic, how long it will last. I visualise your armies of feelings marching forward Joe. Terrific poem.

Hi Wen; thank you. I guess it comes down to passion and determination. One needs to work, often fight for love. I have the battle scars. Blessings my friend.

Sometimes it is natural and other times it’s awkward.

For sure...never to forget, that giving is a form of surrender, letting go of something deemed precious and often guarded at all cost. And taking can be a form of surrender...pride admitting to need apart from greed. Thank you, Victor.
