Just What is Love

Hmmm...this is one concept with many definitions. Everybody wants love;we look for love even where we know we're only going to find a shadow of it. This is a beauttiful piece Grace,thanks for sharing.

Sadly enough, a shadow of it suffice to some. But Thank you for reading dustyjjewels.:)

Great question, Love the filler!!
Awesome write GRACE!!
Love the read sweets!!

Hi Lance, for such a great writer of Love, you are generous...:) thank you.

Hi Gabriel.  So kind of you to drop by and read. Thank you so much.:)

Okay.  The first stanza seems to be about love's obstacles, insecurities and constipated thoughts.  Fragile egos getting in the way.
The second stanza reflects back to family dysfunction, an abusive father, toxic mother and useless brat sibling.
The third stanza observes the superficial forms "love" takes in this day and age, Hallmark testimonials.  Texting and flowers just don't cut it.
The next two stanzas are I believe more hopeful.  There's "sparkles into the eyes" and "lightness of the feet."
The last stanza is a challenge in italics, kind of a lay it on your line.  Is your potential lover really there?  Does he or she qualify?
I hope you've found someone with love as full as yours.
Meanwhile, this is a fine poem.  
 

Hi Crowfly, thanks for your observation. :) you are so on the spot there. The five stanzas are like rambling thoughts of what is Love...parents, sibling...feelings. The italics are the thoughts and actions of the protagonist that triggered the five stanzas...like a prequel. Boggled the mind? Thats just me.

Grace,

Sometimes love is what it is to those who need it. Great contemplation of a write!

Hi Tornado. You are right of course. Sometimes I just get to thinking about it, you know. Thanks for reading me.
:) At this moment I'd like a huge ice cream cone with melted chocolate on top. I could love that.
