    WHAT LOVE IS NOT

     

     

    Love isn’t love

               If you cannot give it.

     

    Love isn’t love

               If you cannot feel it.

     

    Love isn’t love

               Unless you can hear it;

               The whisper of a heart,

               The music it’s making.

     

    For what is love

               If you cannot show it

               If you cannot say it

               If you cannot give it.

     

    You’d better not say you love at all

               If you don’t plan to know

               What love really means.

    As elusive as a myth, words to me cannot describe love, but the heart knows when the time has come to love..

    very true, Ron..."the heart knows when the time has come to love..." thanks for reading...

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
