That Great Emotion

That Great Emotion

 

Love has no ownership , no script

it rises above normality and convention

It tingles with an ancient beauty

never distressed, only ever empowered

It is aroused out of nothing to something

never confined to boundaries or limits

Love is a gentle force in powerful clothing

as it embraces all manner of souls

By it we are attracted and consumed

into a realm of the sublime

It denies wealth and abhors the world

as a priceless gem in a market of poverty

I have many loves, intimate and passionate

which send me spiraling to new heights

Never satiated, barely content but of bliss

I could not endure or survive without it

Love beckons us to avenues not yet walked

follow it with no inhibitions to life's end

The Nanny State ►

That Great Emotion, Love at first sight I recently experienced, Love is Grand. I feel as if I have been dealt a winning hand.

Graham, thank you for this comment. I was attempting to refer to the essence of love and not its passage which is often fraught with difficulties. True love never runs smooth but love itself is sheer bliss, only we can mar its beauty by our perverse desires or machinations. You are right to challenge this. Perhaps my pen got carried away
Thank you again

Surely love can be distressed Keith. The route to true love is never plainly sailed!

A nicely considered piece no matter what.
