LOVE

LOVE

I am a question all ask, an emotion not a task. Right now I am eight billion strong, and have crossed every tongue. 

Though,sometimes I stray, when things and thoughts get in the way. Against any distance there is no match, and sometimes I am the perfect catch.

Here with me age is but a number, and you’ll dream of me in your slumber. Just as sure as the earth will continue to spin, I will always win. 

Where race and gender have no face, for I have taken its place. Young and old all, 
you will fall!! 

Even if it's your first time or last, I am something no one can get past. I'm seen and wanted by the entire human race, once you’ve been touched by my grace. 

Stay as long as you will, I bet you can't sit still. I'm on every face, and you will try to replace. 

I've rewritten world history, yet I'm still a mystery. I'm the only thing time cannot touch, even though I'm abused too much. 

I turn weak into might, if I cross your sight. I’ll make the strongest man cry, I win no matter how hard you try. 

I fill the thoughts of your mind, but be warned I sometimes can be unkind. I mend hearts and shatter them too, I’ll fill you with joy and then leave you blue. 

I've turned the back of your best friend, and stayed with you till the very end. I put a son upon a cross, for his father, so that you may not be a loss. 

I stand tall, and make mankind crawl. I turn peacetime to war, come watch me soar. 

Throughout all time and space, I cover every place. I influence everything, and I’m generally represented by a simple ring. 

I always find a way, because I’m here to stay. Conquest me if you dare, but be cautious as I may leave you with a broken stare. 

Through all joys and pain, I conquer loss or destroy gain. Symbols include a white dove, I am love.

Love love this. Smashing write, the broken rhyme scheme is an absolute favorite of mine. Very very clever. Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea

Wonderful write, I think a few things you mention would not be love but choices, like sometimes unkind, my humble opinion. The idea this poem conveys though is beautiful! Thank You for sharing!

My goodness PATRICK!!.....another fine piece that I've read from you today....which is something I don't ordinarily do.....But I'm glad I did today.....this is a FINE piece of poetic lyricism.....I say that because this almost reads like a musical lyric line......when you read this aloud it becomes so much bigger......ringing in the ears like something you think you've already heard before.....which is what a good song does.....anyway, that being said.....this is a VERY creative look at the 'Power Of Love'....../Beautifully conveyed dear poet brother!!......ALL STARS & PINNED!!........LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo  : )

Thank you so much sir. It does feel as though it’s something that’s you’ve heard before. I think this is because every single one of us that has been in love has felt with most to all of these in our relationships with others.  I’ve never tried to publish any of my poetry as I am my biggest critic, and never thought I’d get any such responses to them. I have thousands written, and in an earlier response you stated that you’d like more ... please enjoy as I’m posting them... 

P@trick.
