Simply Senryu: Love's a fragile bloom

Love me forever Or just 'til the end of time Either one will do There's a difference 'tween love and fascination But where is the line Love can ebb and flow Like the churning of the tide In the human heart Love's a fragile bloom Never water it with tears It can't grow in salt ...Happy Valentine's Day, PS...

Hello Jim, What a masterful dance of depth in so few words. That last stanza—perfection. Love needs nurturing, not sorrow. You’ve distilled wisdom into simplicity, and it’s beautiful. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Love, I expect, was meant to be fragile, soft, innocent, heartfelt, vulnerable… Great write!
