I hope it isn't too late to submit something to Kathy's love challenge, she has hit a subject that is near and dear to my heart. I want to submit this and my earlier piece "To Love", hope it's alright to submit two.


Simply Love

God created us out of it
Romeo climed for it
then he and Juliet died for it
It drives painters to paint
writers to write
sculpters to take clay in hand
It is maddness
It is music
a muse
a constant seach
an insatiable need
It is colors dark and light
dull and bright
It's warm
It can be cold
but is mostly hot
burning
deep
in your stomach
in your heart
in your arms
it fills your senses
touch - hair, skin, lips with a kiss
smell - breath, those dreamy sighs
hear - "I love yous" scattered about, a laugh, a cry, a whisper
see - the face that is so beautiful, the wonder in those eyes, two hands fitted for one another
It ends a world and begins a new one
filled with so much
sweetness
tenderness
surrender
and hope
It is a drug
a cure
an illness
a blessing
It's a kiss
a touch
a word
a rapture of release
freedom
and prisoner
It is love, just love
romantic
passionate
juvenile
steady and true
a multi edged knife
that will carve and shape us all
creating something beautiful
and at times leaving a scar
It's love
only love

Simply Lovely! What beauty flows from your pen. You are one talented, beautiful person who i am fortunate to know. Thank you beautiful niece...i love you so...simply. I will add this and the other and anything else you have to contribute. Why would I leave the icing off of the cake? Especially when it is delightful.
