Of the universe who springing
the roots Love
Her stem twigs and leaves
is a tree of emptiness.
*
From her collapse and fall
wood and foliage dies
absorbed by its owner
to be a balance.
The others are harvested to hold life
in the form of fear, desire
and attachment.
*
If only I was willing
melt in her veins
perk and compound
with the source of life
maybe I can
tasting existence of Love
real one
in everything.
*
Awhhh…
Do not let me be imprisoned
by all of if
I, lead me
leach my self
united with You.

Love is much more than some people interpret. A lot of people take it too easily.
Absolutely agree! I am so happy that there are many friends who understand love more than most people know about it.
Thank you, dear friend. It is very important to me what kind of heart a person has.
You’re most welcome, dear friend.
Love is much more than many realize. It goes very deep into our souls forever.
Love is indeed in our souls, but does it goes very deep into the soul or is it already there since the beginning?
I think it has to grow in our souls, I know some that seem they have no love.
It seems like they have taken the role of an antagonist…
Completely agree unfortunately.
It was their choice from the beginning, perhaps to serve us in building patience.
I did not know that you are also a poet’s soul, dear Albert …. love is a very relative thing …. it is important for you to share our love and I am sure that love will return
I’m just an amateur poet, dear friend, even though I’ve written poetry since I was a teenager.
What you mean for sure is the law of sowing and reaping, and yes that is part of love, dear friend. At least that’s how it was for me.
Although you are only very amateur, though …. just so if you sow you will surely want one too, dear Albert
Of course I want one, maybe even more!
Love is love! True love is more a choice than a spontaneous feeling! I choose to love a thing, an animal, a man, a book and so on! Feelings come and go, choices remain!
Well, I can understand what you mean, and better understand why you choose me to chat…
Jokinggggggg….
I wanted this to be just a comment, but I’m glad you decipher a “hidden message”!
Didn’t you know that I always decipher hidden messages?
love.
to modify the old saying it is a “many splintered thing.” But these splinters, these pieces of wood move through you, to you and beyond. They become a new part of you, part of a new you. Love is the sound of a door opening at the end of a long day!
That sounds like a lyric of a beautiful song, Doc!
Like the air that is around us and in us, that is love, in ourselves yesterday, now and tomorrow.
Many mistake love for infatuation, chemistry, passion and romance. These elements only help foster love of the kind one sees in partners.
Love is more than a feeling. It is a commitment to give without expecting anything in return
Yes, love is not just a feeling because it is just a thin skin that is easily torn. Love fills and fills the sea of desires, the terrain of feeling, the hill of action, the mountain of giving, the peak of energy, and the spiritual life. Love pervades our wholeness and the universe.
Love involves many things, it is kind and compassionate and does great things…
Love forgives and does not rejoice in evil…
Love conquers all when it looks like everything is lost
love rejoices when good things happen..
Greater love has no man that a man gives his life for his friends..
People die but love remains.
Wow! Beautiful explanation, Pamela. I love it.
Thank you.
Very nicely worded. Great description of love.
Love is much bigger than humans can fully understand. Love is what the Universe is built on. Amazing poem.
Absolutely, dear friend. Love is everything, both visible and invisible, realized or not.
To me, love is all.
Love is a feeling, a thought, an awareness, an energy, a source of truth and information.
All is love because love is God, and God is all.
I’m sure you will say that, Zen Master.
Even “Love is All” is often said by many people, the title song too, unfortunately, the meaning is still limited.
It is great if more people realize the true meaning of Love.
Love is all about our realising that we are all in this together, and are all connected, and that everything that happens to us affects all else too.
We need love to connect to others, otherwise, we remain selfishly separated, in pushing too hard only our own barrel through life.
Yep! That is a brief and clear explanation of the meaning of love, dear friend.
Thank you.
Thanks, Albert. Some of the other descriptions given here above are all very good too.
I agree with you, dear friend. I am so glad that our friends here understand love more than a general perspective.
