This Side of Love

May you never be on the wanting side of love
The needing side
The reaching side
The “You are my life” side of love.
 
May you never be on the thirsty side of the love
The withered side
The shriveled side
The “I can’t breathe without you” side of love
 
May you never be on the tormented side of love
The consuming side
The deranging side
The “I’ll be whoever you want” side of love.
 
May you never be on the unfulfilled side of love
The desiring side
The coveting side
The “Why don’t you want me?” side of love
 
May you never be on the bleeding side of love
The crushed side
The scarred side
The “I’m not good enough for you” side of love
 
Ah, my love, my life, my day, my night…..
My sun, my world, my stars, my light….
 
May you never be on this side of love
The broken side
The wasted side
The side of love
You’ve left me on

Richard D Seal Date: 9/22/2013 5:13:00 PM Sad poem but if you've never bled for love, you've never loved. Take care, Richard Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 9/23/2013 11:04:00 AM Mr Seal...you are eloquent tonight. True, very very true!

Red Fiery Date: 9/21/2013 11:33:00 PM This poem speaks in volume...I have suffered tremendously in love..I can't categorise..it's a frustrating quest. Adding to my fav now... love can leave scars..:( Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 9/23/2013 11:05:00 AM Yes, my sweet, it does...HOWEVER, as the saying goes...It is BETTER to have loved and LOST than to have NEVER loved at all...Sweetie...circumstances shape our lives. Sometimes, the love you seek IS there, but it cannot be expressed. Be content to know it is there....Hugs

Poet Tacito Date: 9/20/2013 8:19:00 AM Just emotionally grand. Love should never have "sides"...it should be all-encompassing. Fantastic message! Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 9/20/2013 9:34:00 AM I agree Drake...Tell me when you find that kind of love, will ya! ;) Nice to have you back from wherever you've been....

Richard Lamoureux Date: 9/20/2013 8:07:00 AM It beats the heck out of a life devoid of love. This was a fascinating piece, I could really feel all the emotions. You are so gifted! Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 9/20/2013 9:35:00 AM Thank you, dear Richard. As usual, you have made my heart sing....

Ken Carroll Date: 9/20/2013 5:42:00 AM Hi Eileen, Wonderful wisdom filled write on love...I liked this one from you.. Ken Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 9/20/2013 9:36:00 AM Thank you, Ken. Your commendation is an encouragement to me!

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 9/20/2013 4:04:00 AM No matter on what side of love we are, we still are on the side of love! Love may burn us or cool us down with its breeze, it may exalt us or disparage us, it may render us stronger or weaker but still we are the winners because we have loved! Wonderfully done with a realism that makes every heart reminisces how frail we may be in the face of love! Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 9/20/2013 9:37:00 AM Yes...Your repertoire is grand, I am sure...If it ever works out, or there is an occasion, the university might pay for the ticket. I will keep you in mind.... Eileen Manassian Date: 9/20/2013 9:37:00 AM It would be wonderful to be able to say to you...Kalos Erthes sten Verito! Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 9/20/2013 4:33:00 AM It will be the greatest of honors, but right now somehow it is a little bit difficult! I could speak on "Logos" and on " Democracy" among other things! Eileen Manassian Date: 9/20/2013 4:08:00 AM My dear poet, your words are wisdom in themselves...PHILO...SOPHIA! Yes...akrivos! Thank you so much or your kind post and encouraging remarks. I'm glad to have a visit from you while I'm in my office preparing for my coming classes this Monday. My dear professor of philosophy...would you care to come give a lecture? ;)
