Jennifer Proxenos Poet Free verse

Se Agapo

Agape, love, what a beautiful word, its origin Greek,
To me using this word is such a passionate feeling,
People too gilb with I love you, must come from the heart,
Must be a saying reflecting true courage,
Like being in church and saying your prayers,
A true inspiration to talk in Greek of Agape,
It is sacred to say ‘se agapo’ I love you in my home language,
When my husband proposed, whispering in my ear,
Se agapo Agape mou, I love you my love, healing to my soul!
The essence of Agape, marry me darling, Oh yes I will.

Victor Buhagiar April 18, 2021 at 1:27 PM In Greek there are four words to describe the various feelings of love. Agape is of course the highest emotion especially towards God.
