A gram of love

For those special people that put up with the worst

 

A gram of love

 

I cannot speak

For those who cheat

 

To be a part of a love

With a warm embrace

Is far better than

A strike in the face

I see your gift

Of a priceless worth

To settle for less is

Asking for hurt

How do we measure

A person’s love?

Ask that question

While getting a hug

Wait to see the

Pupils of the eyes

Hold on tight

You’re going for a ride

I reach for your waist

You know who I am

You wondered about me

Time and again

 

Now that you see

And feel my soul

Sprinkle it around

Flat to a fold

For my love for you

Is as precious as life

For I won’t lose you

Just to prove I’m right

Feel the softness

Of this little lamb

For that touch

Was less than a gram

This is one of your best writes, Ralphy. As Haresh D. mentioned, it flows nicely. The thoughts seemed to pour here. I bet it almost wrote itself, right?
I've been cheated on or dumped for another woman with EVERY man I've ever dated up until the one I'm dating now. This weekend I am finally going to start getting the two teeth my ex husband knocked out of my head fixed. I caught him cheating and dared to be upset, so he almost killed me.
Loving someone doesn't guarantee they will love you back and treat you right, unfortunately. It becomes harder and harder to admit love, when you've been burned enough times. But you can't help loving, can you? I pray that the man I'm with now is as wonderful, kind, and loves me as much as he seems to. If not, I may become a spinster. I'm kind of tired of the games most men play.

Nice writing ralphy as the previous reviewers said, a gram of love, nice concept as well showing how just a gram of love is all the is needed to change a life because love itself is so powerful, when reading, i'm sure there is much to consider on

relationship to the meaning itself, and that being how love is a gift and when the
heart sacrifies for another, as in being a shoulder to lean on, or just being a listening ear, as you show there are many aspects to love itself and the emotions

relay this to the reader, nice rhythm as well, the imagery speaks with ambition.
Take Care, Mike

...this is good, though it does make a angry as well (not that that is a reasonable response though)... i dunno... maybe it's just me being cynical but everyone puts up with that s**t... nevermind, I'm being mean when it isn't warranted. This is a good poem, i just don't like it much.

Lovely piece. Your words are as soft as that lamb's touch you describe. Love is soft, love is strong and love is the most precious gift of all. Nicely captured.

[Pleiades]

Lovely poem... It makes love seem light and mystical. I love how the simple lines flow into one another and give a serene feel. Good job!

[Bhavya Kaushik]

This is very raw and deep indeed!
I loved its structure the most! Great write! :)

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

I think this may be a favorite. this flows nicely, a lovely tribute to those broken by love. and I'm sure there is many. Myself, included. Thanks for sharing this, Ralphy.


Great Write.
