Old Love

Wise and powerful words, Ahavati 💜

Thank you, Luna. xo

i quite like this, A. it pushes back against the thought that 'old' is careful. while it may be careful, it isn't afraid of risk. a fine line to walk.

That's a very astute observation, Daisy. I appreciate it. xo

Does Old Love object to more stanzas? I think you should keep adding to this. It would make for a delightful ongoing series. 📝❤

LOL! Old Love knows when to let go and let Be! It would be a cute series of thoughts, that is for sure. You know my poetry is never complete.

Thank you! xo

Old Love needs to be spiced up every once in a while.  Keep on writing.

Old Love is wise enough to know exactly what works and what doesn't. ;)

Love this A.  So wise and profound.  Very cool.

Thank you, Ciper. :)

Love this Ahavati  .. old love is wise enough to know that all those cracks are how the light gets in ... ♥️ox

Thank you, JeJe. That is very true; we do. xo

Old love knows how to stay young...beautiful poem, A.

Peace...Harry

Thank you, my friend. That is a solid truth.

Hey Avahati……..brilliant as always…….sometimes an “Old Love” can seem new or a never ending memory……RL for me……luv this……purple luv & hugs xo :)

Thank you, Purples Love. I really appreciate that. 💜

The older love gets, the less it has to be afraid of because the less far it has to fall, or maybe everything is that way when it gets old, the experience becomes everything.as opposed to some goal. This is a phillsophical one that made me wonder, I liked your example, very nice thoughts :)

Loved your observations, PR. Thank you! xo

I like the trust you have in old love, Ahavati.

Thank you, JZ. I have all the trust and faith in it.

Dear A,

I found this poem profound in its reflection. Taking stock in my thoughts on affairs of the heart and love I fell quite short of the mark by these definitions of Old Love.
“ it doesn't lock away its heart” but it did and the key got tossed. I thoroughly appreciated reading this as it provided me with a great sense of renewal about letting go and releasing pain through love.

I do hope that happens for you, Honoria. Too many hold onto the pain of Love vs moving through it. You deserve all the love possible. ❤

Beautiful and inspiring words about "old love", which in my opinion are as "New" as the morning dew. Thanks for sharing. O

Thank you, Oralizer! Old Love is seasoned. Much appreciated.

Wow, I love the wisdom behind all this. It's so natural and beautiful.
Excellent verse Ahavati.

Thank you, Wally. I truly appreciate that.

Yes indeed true love ideally should be without bitterness but perfect love is hard to find . Your poem is fab in metaphor and advice. Kudos!

Plz do read and comment my newest poem too.

Thank you, Zaynab. Nice to see you back around these parts.

Amazingly so on target. Thanks for the reminder of positive aging (From my interpretation). Hugs and peace, O

Thank you, Oralizer. xo

This is beautiful! X

Our culture tends to vaunt young love, but old love should be the ideal. Young love is intense but also short-sighted and vain, where old love is deep and secure in itself. Thank you for a lovely little poem. I want it engraved on a coffee mug!

Awww! I may just have to do that for you, Jack! Thank you, my friend. xo

This aspires the heart.

Thank you, Lj! xo

Thank you for the beautiful comment, RiAN. You are so right in that love is the key. I don't know who wrote to you, but their observations about love in even destruction were very astute. I believe everything that happens to us contributes to our evolution toward unconditional love. I am curious as to what the song is now, because I truly believe there are no goodbyes. We never see each other for the last time, essence-wise, that is.

Makes love both very fragile and very powerful.

Thank you, Lozzamus. Much appreciated.

I love the concept, the sobriety and an understanding that smiles at problems and weeds the garden. Congratulations.

Thank you, Alviola.

Simple and sweet. Impactful and confident. Thanks for sharing. Is this a true story?

Absolutely! Hopefully it's everyone's, CMV! Or at least it should be once we age and learn the lessons. IF we learn the lessons, that is. Thank you!
