John Loving Iii Poet Personification

Things

sun and rain 
pleasure and pain
war and peace
love and the brain
the act of love
is a curious thing
it starts in the heart
with the eyes that sing
there is an exchange
between the two
a time set aside
for me and you
sipping tea adding glue
then the stories
and secrets are told
"what are you now
that your this many
years old?"
calling on the phone
going places together
giving each other hugs
writing sweet letters
then
that one thing happens
that turns things around
a hint of jealousy
makes a little sound
thoughts are suspicions
and eyes magnify
we hate competitions
and ask ourselves why
what we thought 
was beautiful
was a doorway to hell
we should never
make heaven
in this world
sages tell
should we love in earnest
until they break our hearts
with each and every
new love
with the end
is how to start

Samir Georges January 22, 2010 at 8:54 AM A beautiful poem John, I refused to blink through reading that so that I would not interrupt the flow. But don't look at love as something that can be broken, love is an emotion, deep happiness that comes from a relationship. Our emotions are unyielding, seldom in our control, and as sadness can take the reins of our hearts from happiness, so can jealousy from love.

Sara Kendrick January 22, 2010 at 8:54 AM Interesting write in this one. But love can continue even through little unpleasant experiences if both parties are willing to work through the tough times. I really like lines starting at # 5 onward to the then. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Sara

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 22, 2010 at 8:38 AM NO!!!!! I won't give up my fantasy that love is real, can exist, and man can learn to bring a little bit of heaven to earth... That is IF we live perfectly. Jealousy is the first step to the destructions of love. Too sad. Great write here, John iii (And thanks for reading and commenting on my work.) Lovingly, Dane Ann
