Notes About The Poem

On Love Unconditional

How the seal  of  love duly  abides
blossoming  when the seasons  grow  lush,
and amiable on its first chapters of ecstasy—
like  glorious serenades as  flames  ignite
the  enchantment  of  newborn caprices;

Yet, ordeals mount     after time unveils what’s real--
only to disconnect from life’s fragile weave
if mere pinpoint of vowed threads gets sewn
around it, not for the value within for ‘better or worse’ ... 

Love  based on mythical ideas can be 
easily crushed --even  razed to the ground 
when ordeals persist one after another, 
when the absence of tolerance rules—
as hearts embrace discontentment, wrath
instead of upholding the very reason for ardency's BEING:

Somehow , conditional  love is not enough
where  the mettle of true devotion  begs unceasingly
for strength of will to handle the most challenging
adversities.. and only then can two souls 
be bound by deep fervor prevailing through an oath 
subjected to evening chills--
this unequivocal fealty heaven cannot ever deny.

Jennifer Proxenos October 12, 2019 at 12:28 AM Hi Nette please forgive me for not writing to congratulate you sooner, nearing the end of our packing and starting to move into our new home on the 2lst, the people who have bought our house want to be in by the 31st so it gladdens my heart we can move in slowly. An awesome poem Nette, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

David Mchattie September 10, 2019 at 10:24 PM Well put. A crisis should draw us all closer together and from that... strength should emerge. Have a great day my friend.

Vijay Pandit September 10, 2019 at 5:43 PM Yes--so true, Nette..conditional love is not genuine..never enough. For as you say: when the absence of tolerance rules— as hearts embrace discontentment, wrath.
