Best Love Conquers All Poems
We fall not prey to ego’s ploy,
so we dwell in peace, full of joy.
Notice there’s no energy leak,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.
The world external, we’ve let go,
having relinquished our ego,
yet we’re strong, not feeble and weak,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.
Life is but a dream, played in jest,
wherein we’re ensconced in heart’s nest.
There’s no desire now left to seek,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.
Love and light within heart abounds,
music of spheres in us resounds;
in streams of bliss we dip our beak,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.
Scene 1 - In a cabin on the Mountain side:
" Kenny, you ol' Food Dog you. How was your trip" '" Long and boring. I came as soon as I got your letter. How's Chef doing?"
"Not well, they have him over at the old folks home, they want to commit him for Dementia; as Executor of his estate they need
your signature." " I doubt they'll get that." " A Dr. Mendelsohnn has a status meeting tomorrow at 2" " Well what happened? "Chef
was on one of his nature walks when he ran into two hikers, they got scared and called 911, said there was a crazy man in the woods.
By time the cops got up here Harry was home." "Who was with him, Phil who was with him?" " Kenny, it was Black Friday everyone
was at work" " Jesus Christ, Sorry Lord. Phil, you guys promised never to leave him alone after he was diagnosed with stomach cancer"
" Sorry Ken I got called into work, Chef said he felt fine, you know how Chef is about working." Yea I know, but we also know he's
not always truthful about his health. So they just took him away" Not really, when Mike got here there was 4 cop cars in the yard, they
had to literally drag him out. Chef wasn't acting sane. Dr. Mendelsohnn said he has Dementia, and wants to commit him to Easy Rest Adult Care."
" Not a problem, Phil, Does the year 2004 and 2007 mean anything to Chef" "Redsox World Series Wins." Right , Chef said when he doesn't
remember them, then it's time to leave this realm

"Do you know this Young man; Harry?" Yes his name is Kenny. "Where did you meet him?" We went to School Together. "What was the name of the School?" It was umm, I don't recall. " You see Mr. Potter he can't place Faces to his past. He may recognize your face but does not know Why or where. Let's go down to the office now, You can sign the intake papers. "NO no! Chef who won the World Series in 2004??" " World Series that's Baseball right, I should know this, was it the Yankees or the Cardinals??" Mr. Potter you told me yourself ; if he doesn't remember the 2004 World Series then he should be committed" " Chef please Think: surely You haven't forgotten "Ma Rock, Barbara Jean, Liz, or YOUR LIFE, Your Existence, Your FOREVER, Your Wife LENORE"

200 feet from his home." " The lady and gentleman were afraid, his hair was flying everywhere His beard was unkept, and he wasn't dressed in hiking gear or carrying a back-pack" "He wasn't hiking he was out on a nature walk, Chef could walk that mountain blindfolded and never stumble"" Look all I know the police brought him here in cuffs. He was ranting and raving about his Rights. I felt compelled to admit him for observation and testing; which he failed; in my opinion as a physchologist." " You

"No, not here. let's go outside" "I don't think that is a good idea, there is too many people out there to do any responsible testing" " Ok, You said he
has a temporary room, Do it there" " Very well"
Scene 3 - Easy Rest Adult Care Fascility; Chef's room.
We met at a reception just by chance.
Could it have been some sweet love at first sight?
I gave her a long penetrating glance
Orange hair, shapely cheeks and lips red bright.
I smiled, and invited her to dinner.
She accepted, and I felt elated
A lavish bistro, sure was a winner.
How grateful I felt that we had dated.
A bottle of white wine, and gourmet food,
Somehow we exchanged many of our views
Time came for us to part, but sad the mood,
She would not accept to meet, 'twas bad news.
I saw some tears that flowed down her sweet face.
I asked why, I had to really know
She was deaf an irreparable case.
She could only lip-read, life was a blow.
Gently I pushed her face next to my lips,
One loves despite all things that can be wrong.
We'll stay happy as written in our scripts.
Our lasting love will forever be strong.
I have just realised,
six years ago today,
I sent you on your way.
I had taken a leap
into the unknown.
If only I knew
where I was going.
To hell and back,
as it turned out.
Despair and depression
for years hung about.
No reserves of energy left,
to cope with the fallout.
The beautiful girls
that we had created,
could not fathom
this marriage cremation.
Hurt and angry
they turned on me.
So sad they could not see.
For love of them
I had stayed with you.
Twenty years too long.
Time has healed
our gaping wounds.
Love has lifted
all our connections
back to perfection.
Six years it took.
From today.
Ruth,a lovely lady of Moab,
Nearly always picked up the tab;
Gav her mother-in-law a helping hand,
Emigrating back to her distant homeland;
Naomi quickly returned the compliment,
Matchmaking bing her special bent;
The romance of Boaz and Ruth,
Crossing wealth & caste,showed such love can last;
As grandson Jesse put forth his root,
From which sprang forth the eternal Truth.
Oh my love you ........................ LOVE
Me so, a soldier in battle ........... CONQUERS
Those that comes between us .... ALL
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage
I would say it is that “Love Conquers All,”
For, whatever the situation, it is the message
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage,
I'd pass this adage in my far-advanced age:
“Love Conquers All,” sends a clarion call,
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage
I would say it is that “Love Conquers All!”

Love conquers all
It's often been said
But recently more now than ever
It's so very obvious
Wherever I turn
Love enters my every endeavour
Always been in love
With the joy of love
Since Janice, my first ever crush
Grade one it was
Remember it well
Her life is filled with love I trust
There's been others
Not that many
A couple have never left my heart
Stayed with this guy
For all these years
Been in love with love from the start
It makes this old world
Keep spinning around
Can you imagine this place without love
I'd cash in my chips
Not worth the effort
Love and friendship go hand in glove

It's late in the morning,
Just watching you sound asleep,
A kiss I lay upon your shoulder,
Brings a dreamy smile,
From my sweet surrender.
I maybe at times grow tired of this world,
I know I say it each day's end,
But coming home to you,
Gives me more than enough reasons,
Why I do what I do.
Love conquers all,
If only more people believed it true,
Then the world would give in,
To the same unconditional love I have for you.
I'd bathe you in my Love,
sponsor you peace like a dove,
lotion you with my embrace,
so the sun's rays could kiss your face.
Though undeserving of what I give,
I'd teach you kindness, so you could receive,
be most vulnerable, cater to reciprocation,
appreciate me through this education.
I pride off my soulmate's teachings,
to share all I have, beyond my healings,
her listening skills have restored all hopes,
engaged are past troubles, regardless of who provokes.
True Love comes by the most random hour,
but it will teach you its unwavering power.

'feelings of Love'
RhymeZone, verified
Sometimes love can make you frown,
And feel as if you're going to drown
Even daily events can cause pain,
While lovers may start to feel strain
So just remember whether big or small,
In everything, love conquers all
Love Conquers All
I had enough of lust.
And for a long time, I was waiting for love to knock at my door.
And when I heard the knock, I became excited.
But that quickly faded, when I saw lust standing in the doorway.
I looked behind lust, to see if I could see love.
But lust pushed his way in.
Told me, he bound and gagged Love.
And I wasn’t getting rid of him that easy.
But with all my heart, soul, and might.
I fought lust.
And though it was a struggle, I over came lust.
And he had to leave me.
Defeated.
As I fought lust, Love became lose.
And she found me.
She threw her arms around me, and promised to never leave me.
And we have been together ever since.
Thank You God!
I Love, Love!
Love…..is all you need
Open…..what your heart desires
Volume…..the silence is deafening
Emotions…..how I feel inside
Control.....just grab the wheel and steer
Origin …..From where all life comes
Noble….a state of bliss
Quest….. The journeys of our life
Unique….. Something to call my own
Evolve…..to climb out of the hole
Resolve….. A peace within my heart
Salvation…..saves me from myself
Allege…..to bear witness to the truth
Living …..What we all should do
Life….it is yours for the taking
