My newest poem...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

What is love?

Is it a thing?

An object of desire?

Is it the sea between our shores?

Or is it a bond?

A rope that tightly binds?

I don’t know...

I have no understanding of it...

All I know

Is that I love

And you are the man

Who lives in my heart.

Who occupies my mind

Who has conquered my soul

And when you touch me

With your glance

And your words

And your hands and mouth

All the world falls away


My mouth speaks

But when I am in your arms

There are no words from me...

Yet I would still be speaking......

Of my love.

[gemdem]

6. My dear kagehime...

[ForrestGump]

7. I love it!!!

It also speaks the truth, 100%, though I admit that (in my mind, when I read it), I changed your man into a woman for my own selfish ends. This is a true story, Ms Peggy. Love is a beautiful song, la-la, la-la-la, la-la (it can be, anyway).

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Forrest...

Thank you, sweetie.....So glad you like it!

And you liked it enough to copycat it, too!

I'd expect you (and any man reading this) to change the gender...

I believe that love, true love, is always beautiful....:hug:

[blondie58]

9. Peggy, that is beautiful

and with your permission, I would love to send it to my guy, of course I would give you the credit. He is kind of a romantic sap and I think that he would get something from this, also.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear blondie58...

Oh, thank you!

OF COURSE you can send it to your guy! I would appreciate the credit, too, but I know you would give it...

I am honored that you find this worthy of sharing with your guy.....

:hug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. That is so sweet, Peggy...

I hope you share these with your honey! :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear GoddessOfGuinness!

I haven't shown this to him yet.........

But believe me.......I will!

I suspect he'll like it.......

I hope he will, anyway...

12. My dear California Peggy...

very nice use of metaphors and alliteration. Very nicely done. Love? It's the strongest poison and medicine of all....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear Joe Fields...

Oh, thank you.....

And I agree about love being the strongest poison and medicine of all........

It can make you well.......or ill...

I can't live without love in my life, not for one second... :hug:

[Inchworm]

15. I will dream well sweet Peggy...

I got up for water on a low intake drinking night and caught this new poem.

It is loverly.

It is a question that has no concrete answer, "what is love." After discussing this my special love "who lives in my heart" and finding out the same thing, I decided it is what it is. That is all it needs to be.

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear Inchworm.......

Happy dreams to you, sweetie...

I am touched that you like this effort of mine...

Thank you!

:loveya:
