Point of View

Can a heart be smart?

Such a simple word,

Catastrophic effect.

Many texts written

On this painful subject.

 

Why not change

Sad written verse?

Being in love is not

Always a curse!

 

Glimpse the yearning

From a differing view.

Loving for some

Is simple to do.

 

Why should we need

The same love returned?

Hurt injures others.

Love must be relearned.

 

Some damaged souls

Have no love to give.

Our loving hearts are

Their reasons to live.

 

Glory should be found

In the offering placed.

For in our warm nature,

The feeling is graced.

 

Rejoice in the affection

You have deep inside.

For love is a blessing

In our hearts to reside.

Thank you.
For reminding me that my love
is a gift and a blessing.
I’ve been debating it as a curse lately...but it’s so rare to see true love...(hint: not sex).
I will ponder this some more.
But more positively.

Ironic you should say this today! I have to remind myself of this because of things that I experienced today. Love is totally a gift! Anyone deserving of that gift has a blessing.

So very true! Tender, meaningful and excellent writing.

I did notice one typo in this line:
'Glimpse the yeaning.'
"Yeaning' should be 'yearning'.
Quick, teacher, fix it before the class notices! :)

To quote my friend Belle, I loved it.

I have read this over and over.... OK, so I did not spot the misspelled word. BAD TEACHER!!!

Didn't they make a movie called that? :)

[A. Kim Spradling]

LOL..... Ah, I plead the 5th on that one.

For stanza five in this poem, it has a good meaning to it. I really appreciate the fact that this poem was made, for other poems for heartbroken, this has a very good reflection on how love can be fixed, even if it is broken. 100/100 for you. Good job on this, and I hope you can make more poems like this.

[Mari' Emeraude]

Love really does need to be relearned nowadays and a pretty, sentimental note such as this is well on the right track to reminding us. Lovely!

[A. Kim Spradling]

Yes, you are correct! I think we who love easily forget the injured others who have a harder time finding their heart. I know such a person. To love, truly love, is a gift that not everyone possesses! If it is returned, you have found gold. If not, you still have gold because YOU have the gift to love.

[A. Kim Spradling]

Thank you for reading my poem. It really meant a lot to me.

[sette]

the poem which describes love from a romantic angle that it is not a curse that I agree no matter how much pain a person endures, it does not stop him from loving someone because of the need to feel the love and the sense of belonging which makes us human in every sense of the word.

[A. Kim Spradling]

Yes, this is love from a romantic angle. I think the true gift is in giving!

Thank you so much for reading my poem!!!

[sette]

you are very much welcome

[emipoemi]

I'm not sure about the grammar of the last two lines, but this poem as a whole is wonderful! Very well thought-out and constructed, always building up to the climactic zenith. Much enjoyed! Well done! (Stanzas 4 + 5 spoke to me.....wow!)

[A. Kim Spradling]

I just LOVE your messages to me!!! I sincerely do. I changed the last two lines. I have been working on them all day. I wrote this piece early this morning. I think it is done at this point now. THANK YOU!!

[emipoemi]

You're very welcome. It's my pleasure. I'm still not too sure about the grammar...the deletion of the comma didn't do much. It's the "to reside" that sounds off when worded like that....I'm not entirely sure, but it just sounds off to me (like I know what you're trying to say, I just don't think you're saying it correctly).

[A. Kim Spradling]

I also changed "your" to "our'. "Your" did not fit the poem. Well, I am just going to call it poetic license, and go with it. To reside = to live. It works with live. Hmmm.... I respect your opinion.

[emipoemi]

oh no, it's not "reside" that's the trouble, it's the "to" that's bugging me. Sure, poetic license it! Stamped and accepted! Awesome. And yeah, good call on the "our". That's also a good change.

[A. Kim Spradling]

HA! You are awesome!!!

[H L Rose]

Each stanza is beautiful and I think you’ve gotten the idea across very well.

Stanza 6 is my favorite, but I also really like stanza 7. It’s refreshing to read about the truely selfless nature of love and just how beautiful such a thing is.

Absolutely loved reading this!

[A. Kim Spradling]

Thank you SO VERY much! That is EXACTLY why I wrote this piece....

[H L Rose]

Of course! It was beautiful

[ZakLeonRamsey]

Another killer poem, bloody hell, I think you are becoming my favourite poet. :) And some of your poems, in my top ten list

[A. Kim Spradling]

Well, I am glad to be on ANY list!! LOL

[Pooja Chintamani]

It's very pure about emotion of love. Touching heart and well hoping to be return to sad. And the last stanza absolutely well defined is blessing and rejoice

[A. Kim Spradling]

Thank you for your kind words. They are appreciated!
