Manifestation of Love ~
I
used to know a hundred songs
about
that place in love where pain belongs
no
reconciliation was ever found
between
heart and head, only strife came ‘round.
I
wandered beneath a lonely moon
the
music in my heart, adrift and out of tune
just
the haunting strings of the mandolin
seeping
through my veins to reside within.
I
sought answers to questions I needn’t have asked
I
didn’t know at the time, my die had been cast
gliding
on moonbeams, soft whispers came through:
“You
don’t find love…..love finds you.”
As
such, it came unexpected
with
an acceptance of Fate, unprecedented
our
friendship suddenly became clear to me
to
be your anything love, was meant to be.
An
anything love, is just as it implies
unbiased
and just, no conditions or why’s
to
be what you need through life’s various stages
to
remain your constant, throughout the ages.
It’s
a love through action, as the words are unspoken
no
need for return, sentiments can be broken
promises
not uttered, for fear of breach
manifested
from truth, with intent to reach.
I
used to know a hundred songs
with
verses tripping over rights and wrongs
it
took the moon for me to see
Fate
provides the lyrics, we are the melody.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. I value your opinions so much :)
DeleteThis has all the edge of Dahlia Classic 1.0 melded with the whimsy and allure of the 2015 Lisa Luv... Seriously, I have been waiting to here this spin since... well, since before we even met.
ReplyDeleteI will take all of this you have to offer, and wait in line for seconds. Great Poem!
2015 Lisa Luv? Is that a new persona? ;). Your comment is one that writers dream of. I love you madly, but you already knew that <3
DeleteI loved this, great opening, great in betweens, wonderful closure. You know which is my favorite stanza. Again, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes, and it is my favorite as well. I love you to the moon and back <3
DeleteTo the moon and back and to the moon again <3
DeleteI love it! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteIrene
Thank you, Irene :) ((hugs))
DeleteEven beneath a lonely moon I do not believe the music in your heart could be out of tune...
ReplyDelete6 points Earthling! :)
Marvin
*Smiles* As long as I do not try to sing, then it would be out of tune. Thank you, Marvin <3
DeleteExquisite! We are indeed the melody. Love love love this! -leta <3

ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. It wasn't too structured, so I had more freedom to make it flow :)
DeleteSo beautifully wise. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara. (((hugs))
DeleteSome wise words and yet I never ever thought pain belonged in love. Silly me no doubt
ReplyDeleteTM
Pain doesn't belong in love, yet is seems to often find itself there. But maybe when it's there, there's an underlying message that it's not the love we think is meant to be? *shrugs*. I guess when love is right, it is all that the name implies :). Thanks, dollface ~
Deletebeautifully penned

DeleteWhen you write, which isn't often enough by the way, you write with your heart open to the moon. Loved the last line in this poem: "Fate provides the lyrics, we are the melody" spectacular!
ReplyDeleteFaded blue dude
"you write with your heart open to the moon." Dave, that is the sweetest complement I've ever had, I just loved it. Love you too, Blue Dude
