*Love Is A Stone*
Love means understanding
The understanding of words
the decoding of glances
gestures and the silence
Love is a burning
and a cooling
The fire in giving and getting
the ice of calming
Love means always
and never
To embrace the truth
no matter how heavy it is
To ignore the mistakes
that sometimes threat to sneak out
from the fogs of the past
Love means laughing
It is a tear it is a smile
It cries and celebrates
Love demands sharing
carrying of each other’s griefs
sorrows that may lie along the road
Yet
the requirement is easy like a dew
on the rose petals of one’s heart
Love is the state of mind
the state of heart
A hope
of never having to be sorry
A promise of being sorry a lot
It is a contradition
and the confirmation
Love is a stone
at the entrance of forever

Enjoyed this and beautifully written
can’t be said any better Eclipse… love is the most beautiful yet the strangest of feelings as well.
Indeed Sam, thank you for reading
Your words are truthful. I might add: “Love is a mesh that catches us gently as we are.”
Well said 🙂 Thanks Martin
So true, and so beautifully written, except maybe one more thing … ? … and that is, this kind of Love doesn’t work unless it’s mutual … and then there is all that Soulmate stuff … any advice? Love and admiration, cat.
Of course Cat, that’s nr one…I tried to emphasize it here… 🙂 Thank you very much for visiting and your comments
Love indeed is all this 🙂 and lot more too ! 😉
