Love is a perfect note; love is a certain smile or a gentle touch.
It is the dripping juiciness of ripe mangos on a parched tongue
or the smoothness of rippling silk as it touches your skin
or perhaps the sweetest strawberry dipped in liquid chocolate?
Love could be the aroma of double espresso just before it reaches your lips,
or is it the smoky woody smell of a newly lit fire?
All is love.
Love is also the stormy greys of long worried nights
love is restless broken sleep that drains energy from your soul,
love is eyes heavy from sadness.
But love is also the ashen face that looks at you when days are bad and you are brave.
Love is you starting the fight once more as realisation arrives in your eyes.
Love is also the beautiful eyes of family members whose tender glances record their own story.
Love is the strong arms that support and guide your way.
Love is the dearest child who stokes your hair with such beautiful gentle hands.
Love is our private moments that make difficult days better,
love is that look across the room that says it all.
Love is all these things...
And all these things are love,
and you.
and you.

Dear Susie -- your ability to capture the essence of love and living is ... amazing. Thank you, thank you - again.
I so love this poem!
It is just beautiful, Susie.
Margie:)
I love (oops, pun not intended!)these poems of yours. They have the freshness of sincerity.
Hi Susie, thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods. You say you cannot draw, well I cannot write poetry. How beautiful and descriptive all your poems are. I am so glad you stopped by. Blessings to you and your handsome husband.

Love is a beautiful poem, warmly and tenderly expressed.
I like the way you wrote this one, a little different style, I think. It just felt different while reading. Thanks for writing and posting, I always feel better when I visit here. Sometimes worried, but somehow better.
Marvelous poem, Susie - very powerful indeed. Made me think of Paul's first letter to Corinth and his treatise about the power of love:
If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,
it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.
So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Thank you Sandy xx for your very generous comment.
