Love’s Many Faces.......
A skinned knee, a scraped elbow
Kiss it; make it all better
A snatched toy, a treat denied
Mommy’s here
It will be okay
Love’s gestures, soothing, mending
Cuddling, nurturing, drying tears
Misdeeds, shenanigans, youthful antics
This hurts me, son, more than it hurts you.
A friend’s defection, Parents suck!
Loss of innocence, rite of passage
Love, tough, steeling, bracing
Oddly comforting, allaying fears
First crush… unrequited?
Shake it off
Never forget
Heart-stopping passion, blood running high
Feed the senses
Live for the now
Love, carnal, visceral, white hot
Glorious, transcendent, celebration of life
Life’s mate found, promises made
Honor, cherish… grand, eloquent words
Make a home
Birth a child
Future’s bright hope, reason to strive
Love’s purpose, procreation
Cuddling, nurturing, drying tears?
Betrayal, breaking with tradition
Overtures spurned, vows forsaken
Can we redeem what is lost?
Has it all been for naught?
Love’s flippancy, rejection
Disregard, abandonment, pain
Impromptu dinners, weekends away
Small considerations, brave faces
Talks of growing old together, grandchildren
Times past fondly remembered, prayers said
Love hopeful, enduring, eternal
When all is said and done…..
love

There is something about you,
And I think I know,
Part of you is real,
Some is for show,
There is no indication,
No something

Between the Lines
X wife, kids, alimony, child support
But, he is good looking, attentive....
The heart has a mind of it’s
Blossoms fall from the tree
The dove cries in the distance
This flower reminds me of our love
I gaze into the blue sky
