THEY SAY, love is never having to say you're sorry
it is sweet, beautiful and fulfilling
it is never selfish nor demanding
it is knowing the needs of the beloved.
I SAY, love causes sleepless nights
it makes you happy and sometimes sad
it makes you smile and sometimes cry
it shines your days and sometimes not.
love can be here and yet not here
it can be touched and yet not touched
it can be felt and yet not felt
but it can always be cherished in your heart.
is it possible to love and be in love without thy love?
is it possible for love to stay just in your heart?
is it possible for love to stay just in your mind?
can love be love without craving for thy beloved?
i am in love and yet i feel so blue
i am loved and yet i feel so empty
i see his face wherever i go, wherever i turn
but i cannot even kiss him nor touch him.
am i losing my sanity?
am i losing the magic of love?
am i losing the battle?
i believe in love and yet i wonder.
i dread the nights the lonely nights
i dread the mornings without him by my side
i dread the thought of being alone
day and night, by myself, in this life.
love's vast repertoire of ways is testing my patience
the painful pretence to keep me up is pulling me down
the task to summon enough faith is getting dramatic
the focus to see the light is struggling with sadness.
but i love my love with all my heart
i love to think about our dreams
i love to plan my life with him
but the agony of distance is killing me.
is this just the prelude to what love is?
the pains, the dramas, the emptiness, the sadness?
the trials, the uncertainties behind the veils?
is this the path to what love is all about?
IS THIS LOVE?

Yes . . . because LOVE is unconditional.
Another great poem Possum.
Grampa | Grampa Pogi [512] | 04/02/2010 |
Hi,
This poem speaks volumes. Highly ambitious in scope, you seem to touch on nearly all the great many ways
in which love affects and intoxicates, how it causes both great hurt and joy, not merely meted out to
different people in different measures but proving no less discriminatory when acting within the confines
of a single heart.
A good poem - I shall keep a look out for more of your stuff! | Keiron [49] | 04/02/2010 |
This is a very good one =)

the highs and lows of love written in a very honest way | elaineh [10] | 04/02/2010 |
Love is beautiful
Love hurts
Love lasts
Love exacts a price
Are you still willing to pay the price
for the passion and beauty of love?
Beautiful and poignant, possum | m n m n I [313] | 04/02/2010 |
You're 100% right, Grampa. Love is beautiful, and yet, love hurts. Thanks. | Possum [134] | 05/02/2010 |
Thanks for your comments, Keiron. Emotions are felt when we write straight from the heart. | Possum [134] | 05/02/2010 |
Thanks again , audreyhepburn. | Possum [134] | 05/02/2010 |
Thanks for your feedback, elainah. | Possum [134] | 05/02/2010 |
Thanks, m n m n I. Love is awesome and yet, crazy. It's like always on cloud nine. | Possum [134] | 05/02/2010 |
This is certainly interesting.
I hate science and this is depressing and annoying but very interesting also and might 'answer' some of
your ponders - http://www.youramazingbrain.org/lovesex/sciencelove.htm - don't know if this would stop
the romantic creative flow or provoke it... | clifton [237] | 06/02/2010 |
You just have to feel it and the words will flow. Thanks, Clifton. | Possum [134] | 10/02/2010 |
Possum, I think you are a very romantic person thru and thru. I could feel everything that you wrote
on this poem. Love can be very challenging in so many ways. Who knows your dream might be a reality.
Keep on loving. From libran88 | libran88 [30] | 12/02/2010 |
Possum, I say it is love. Unconditional love but it will find its way to be a reality. | Anonymous [96] | 13/02/2010 |
Possum,
This is my absolute favourite. Looking forward to reading more of your work. (: | GenieRaine [36] | 13/02/2010 |
You're right, libran88, I'm a romantic person who'll keep on loving till my dream comes true. Thanks. | Possum [134] | 13/02/2010 |
