Couched Love

Avatar

This post was originally written in 2015. This is a scenario being played out in my head before I decide to answer a very simple question. Since my daughter always says that I over think things. She may have a point.

Is it intended for love or admiration

You withstand daily torture, for the pleasure of others.

Or are you enjoying the constant bombardment of the different and deafening perfumes coming from the spoils of others?

There are many secrets wrapped in your bosom of untapped tapestry.

Is this where love comes to die?

Is your name more literal than we, mere mortals, admit it to be?

Could it be so simple a notion, that love is chosen.

Or are we doomed to repeat the past of failed love?

Therefore, I respond to your question, “Do you want to sit down? ”

The only seat available is the love couch.

“No, thank you. I’ll stand. “

    Yes, she is my polar opposite. Leo and Capricorn. Two leaders… Lol.. joy๐Ÿ˜‰. You’re correct, caring for others, sometimes, forces you to put yourself on the back burner. If we are not well, we cannot care for another. Thanks for your comment๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜‰

    I have 2 thoughts on it; 1. It is good that your daughter is different than your personality 2. caring for others is admirable, but don’t let it destroys you.

    I’ll have to start asking myself if what I am doing is out of love or for admiration. Sometimes the lines get blurred.

    I agree so much Eloise. I have also experience divorce and that is where some of those familiar emotions probably came from. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Love does shine again, but avoid that couch. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks a ton for reading and your thoughts.

    I love poetry, it’s such a beautiful way to express emotions… Love is one of the most powerful emotions in human beings, it can cause so much joy and pain in ones life. Your poem hits home for me! my love has died on the couch, so to speak… I’m in the middle of a divorce, hopefully in the future, love will be found in my life again, with the right one!

    Difficult question to answer but I believe that love is not chosen but up to fate and when two paths cross that are meant to be it is destiny.

    Very nice. For some reason, I’m not sure why, I’m singing in my head Lauryn Hill’s Ex-Factor song as I read your poem.
