It Matters Little
A Poem by
Allen Smuckler
"found in the archives"...
It matters little
where we spend our time,
as long as we
spend it together...
and
it matters little
whether we’re apart,
as long as our spirits
are with each other..
and
it matters little
that we’re in love,
if it is not
with one another...

Oh, what a beautiful love poem! Elegant, simple, direct. It's an arrow straight from the poet's heart, directly into the depths of the reader's soul. Wonderful!

ache...the bite that grabs you at the end. You spin such beauty with your melancholy thoughts. It so true..it matters little what we say and do...if it's not being done with the one that's in love with you. Bittersweet poetry like always my friend.

A learning of what is love - not a lesson, not a oration, just gentle words saying how in the gentlest, most sincere way.
