The Absoluteness of Love

The Absoluteness of Love

Ā  Ā  I am planting my love in a flowerpot
Ā  Ā  and cultivating it with tenderness
Ā  Ā  and gentle drops of rain

Ā  Ā  I am placing my love on a book page
Ā  Ā  so he can learn how to love me back,
Ā  Ā  perhaps from the whispers
Ā  Ā  of those ancient pages

Ā  Ā  I am wrapping my love in moonlight
Ā  Ā  and let him quietly rest
Ā  Ā  upon the breasts of a red rose.
Ā  Ā  I want to know what love is!

Ā  Ā  Ā --Bernadete vdw, '24

Hi Bernie, great to receive your thoughts. What a wonderful way to see this. Ah, ā€œresting upon the breasts of a flowerā€ it’s from my poem ā€œBrevity of Timeā€.
You have a such good memory, mate. It only says that when you read a poem, you pay attention.Ā 
Keep well my friend.Ā

Glad to have found you by way of Marion... Like this a lot, the tenderness and the teaching. It took my wife a hard fight getting me out of the trenches, not for not wanting, but for the complications of a childhood (though hers was even more in need of a hard fight... We got ourselves out of the swamps eventually, having been married for only 37 years now and not rueing one minutešŸ¤—. Gonna read some more

What a nice surprise! Nice to meet you, John.
Leaving the trenches and getting out of the swamps
takes a great deal of courage and willpower. I am glad you did.
Give each other a tap on the back and a good cuddle.
Happy writings.Ā 
Bernadete

Well, yes, but is also gives me a lot of poetry, much of what I write is generalized into words...

Just curious (being Dutch): have you any idea of your Dutch roots (surname can only be originally Dutch - the Flemish would have made it into Vanderwielen in most cases).
