" LOVE FIND'S A WAY FOR GRACE "

" LOVE FIND'S A WAY FOR GRACE "

When I Love, how can it be claimed
How it is I adore
Can it not be grace to set a love free
To ask of God for nothing more

Than to witness that Love
Bloom into that beauty
That within her I've seen...

Thus All men may witness
That compassion skirts to throw
Else should my grace, cease to be grace
And so, into the self same woe
Where on the rest, shall not think best
No heart so bold, or perhaps grown cold
To allow such a Love it's growth.......

Love find's a way for grace
Whether through horrible despair
With weeping eyes in seeing her face
Kindreds wail, but the light does prevail
Or when I am alone, how is it I adore
The excellence of her presence
'Tis simple
It's the God I feel, in seeing her happiness......

Tony Taylor   (Chicago)

'it's the God I feel, in seeing her happiness'......well played my friend, I'm so applauding that beautiful line; even in my half drunk state I can recognize the power of that one line, love or what ever drives a poet of your calibre  to write these words can be mind bending to me; when I am a reader  I see so many things hidden behind metaphors, the reader can be never completely sure of the meaning of all things said; and thus the old saying comes into effect; 'art is not what you see but what you can make others see'....Tony you certainly write with honesty compassion and sincerity, superb poem....keep doing your thing my friend, I for one is always appreciative for your beautiful words, you are my 'go to poet' when I need a 'fix'  thank you....have a good night....looks like the Cubs might pull this one out dude; fingers crossed...

Outstanding beauty here bro, reminds me a lot of sir Thomas Wyatt
who has fast become a favorite of mine, you will always be flying above me
because I always look towards the sky,
you and I are well alike, letting the petals rest bruised not by holding tight
resting the happiness in gods, undying light
~ beyond adoring love.
loads of hugs deano xox

Peace and love like that more genuine
The flowers grow, softly,gently,
Most gracefully two and throw
Counting the ways I love thee so.
petal by petal....they show.
