What is the shore without the sea
Aimlessly wondering watery dreams
Deferred desolate depressed empty
Is how I am without love in me
That one true love for which one is blind
Without it there is darkness blackest of times
Is like a blue bird without a heart song
No white wind of romance to carry it on
Without love there is nothing to fight for
No reason to desire life would be a bore
Amethyst art would starve forever more
No apple of the eye to amber adore
Without love music would be dead
The humming of machinery could be heard instead
Humanity would die off no kids born
Feelings would be liability and scorned
Without love I am an empty cocoa shell
With no inspiration no wishing well
No dedication or passion that bleeds
That is what lack of love does to me
Is there such a thing as true?
Love exist no questions asked
Yet is true really real?
Love is essential and necessary
I guess you can call it, True Love
There are many types of true love
I love your outfit and new shoes
That’s the truth but is it True love?
Love encircles the world, that’s true
Instead of true love it should be
Truth Love for without the truth,
How can you have true love?
Love is not complicated, you just love
We have over loved and lost it’s meaning
We love cars, colors and clothes
Combining them with human love
We cry if we lose our house in a fire
That can be replaced
We cry when a loved one dies
That can’t be replace
We have confused the true meaning of
True love and man made things
This is the truth of what true love really is
It is:
Human love for one another

I LOVE POETRY CONTEST THEY ARE THE BEST
The word Love has been tainted
I love your dress
I love your new fishing boat
I love that new color of paint
Mankind cannot love physical things
Love is heart felt for all Nature
Not mans creations
The answer lies in the heart
I love your eyes
I love your lips
I love all of you but,
I sure love those new shoes
The answer is we love things that,
Cannot love us back, this we have to stop
Love comes from the heart
Not from a store
Love is the answer but the question is
What do we love more?
Mans creations or people and nature?

I love bees that don’t sting me
I love hat’s that fit me
I love taking a shower naked
I love not being dead and my name isn’t Fred
I love not running out of toilet paper
I love not going to the dentist
I love to be able to pee standing up
I love the person who invented paper plates
I love all women except the mean ones
I love food in a box you can nuke in under 3 minutes
I love seeing someone do something stupid and it’s not me
Last, I love all my peep’s on soup!

A Bubble of Love
A cacophony of chaos is taken away
as your warmth and your spirit engulf me
All the world is blurred, with none of it heard
Only your heartbeat and breath can reach me

perfection in all things
easy, you would think, but not when
re-daunting love is demanded,
forever constant drip of words
eating away my soul, feeling
claustrophobic, being smothered, by
total love which is demanded back
loyalty closes its eyes as
overbearing mother decides my future
vitriol thoughts circle my brain
erased my natural love for my mother
penned 1/2/2016
Bid on my love
Crashing waves, thunderstorm
Soaking wet, yet I'm warm
Blooming flowers, turtle dove
All four Seasons, show me love

Bid On My Love Contest
Understanding the nature of the quality of you,
Adoration offered and our alone time over due.
Admiration of our silence underneath our moon,
Beaming of thoughts that our baby will be born soon.

In The Name Of Love - Contest
Oh please complete me with your hands tonight,
As I see your smile shine under the moon,
Whisper in my ear our love is just right,
Please let your erotic touch heal my wounds.
Our warm affection and devotion now,
Brings us to a reality of dreams,
And as we feel our red romance avow,
We automatically share heartstrings.
And everything we both have struggled through,
Time alone is not good enough for us,
And everyday our love soars bright anew,
Our winds of love dances and sings with gust.
There are no words to express and convey,
The passion we so tenderly portray.

1st Place "In The Name Of Love" Contest
Microbial love
knocking your door too hard
to create new life
(c) Anindya Mohan Tagore (Bobby)
Let us prove to each other, how much, we really care,
Heard these words before, usually means, is wanting to make love
Cannot remove a name from a tattoo, when mind is changed

Love can be displayed in different ways
Love for each other shown by a smile or a touch
Love of life with prayers of thankfulness
Love of a child whose whole you hold in yours hands
Love of your parents to whom you owe so much
Love of your partner shown in the way you look
Love of your garden by the time you spend in it
Love of your dog your faithful friend
Love of the sun in whose rays you unwind
For me it is the love of my work bringing babies into the world
to be loved by their parents and families, a new life out of love.
Penned 7-6-2013
Love gives you a feeling of joy and contentment
Making you bubble up inside
No one can take away this feeling
Overwhelming happiness you cant hide
Permanent smile upon your face
Quality of life shows like a blazing fire
Reeking of warm undying love
Sheltering in the depth of your desire
Love is a reason for living.
I was all of six years old
He was a big boy of 12
I adored him
Showed me how to use a fishing rod
He was my little tin god
I worshipped him
In my teenager years he spoke of love
Wasn’t me he was talking about
I loved him
As we got older the age difference grew less
Looked at me with interest, not just a pest
Can see me at last
Asks me out on a date, first of many
Had a fantastic time, love grows a plenty
Togetherness wow
On our wedding day, both nervous but pleased
From the age of just 6 was all I had dreamed
In love .with love.
The wardrobe mirror reflects every move and more
From tumbled love making , to sleep and snore
Still love him
Parents now, one of each
Teaching them to wait for what’s out of reach
We adore them
