Christy Stover Poet Rhyme

Value of Nurturing

lust just somehow happens
desire easily ignites
eagerly the heart opens
to the possibility of delights
         oh, the excitement
         of a new romance
         that heated moment
         a sensual dance
that luscious feeling
isn’t meant to last
it reaches its ceiling 
then fades into the past
          true love takes time
          to grow and mature
          reaching its prime,
          it requires nurture
without any effort
love will deteriorate
the failure to court
makes loneliness one’s fate
         like people, love ages
         and needs some upkeep
         with neglect the damages
         will run profoundly deep

Chris Green February 15, 2017 at 2:42 PM Here is another poem that is profoundly true, you have hit the nail squarely on the head Christy. I love the 5th stanza, love does take effort and that effort should be a joy, if it is not, then it is not love.
