Addiction to love.

Need to have many dances and know a whole lot of laughter. Life is to be lived.

                     Addiction to love

True love.
Foolish love.
Tantalizing dances into warm embrace.
Needed love.
Blind ceremony in the burning desire of passion and energy.
Higher and higher lovers climb.
Reaches peaks and valleys.

Lover's bleed their heart and souls to the spirits of the night.
Secret whispers lay open and raw.
There is no place to return after the words are spoken,
after two bodies become one.

Lover's love.
They hold on tight throughout the cold night.
The morning light will appear.
Two people awake with the burning desire to hold on.

lovely poem. i disagree with captaingympipenman ! I think it's good to have the word "lovers" and "love" all the time, it really emphasizes the whole thing - the addiction ! it really gives the sense of "i really need love now" and "i can't manage without it" ! i think the title is brilliantly chosen and the poem is well written ! keep at it ! =)

Lover's love sounds the most swooningly captivating !

A luscious and sensuous delight !

"Lover's bleed their heart and souls to the spirits of the night.
Secret whispers lay open and raw.
There is no place to return after the words are spoken,
after two bodies become one."

Those lines were awesome and the whole was great...Bravo

Thank you Sami. I had the desire to write some poetry of love. We need to tried to stay positive.

[Sami Khalil]

That is true...You are welcome...:)...........

Since your subject is love, I am not bothered by its repetition. This fits the title well. Maybe, you could tie your stanzas together more closely, so the flow will improve as it is read a loud to someone.

Thank you Josie. Reading need practice and a place. I did read at Poetry readings in California and Texas. Good to be surrounded by fellow writers.

I think poetry is different when you read it a loud verses just reading it. Nice to meet you! I am always so nervous at readings. They are difficult for me if the piece is emotional.

The overuse of the word "love" detracts from the poem a bit. We know what it's about. The title says all. Some of your lines are too long. Maybe shorten them or combine some together?

I do like your word choice and the fact that you were grammatically correct.

Hope this helps and happy trails! :)

Thank you for reading and the good comment. I do appreciate the honest words.

Love can indeed become addictive. We all need someone to hold onto in the middle of the night and you have expressed those feeling so very well!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Joyce. Good to remember what love should be.

Addiction to love...Is love really addicting? If love is too much, they call it not love anymore but an obsession. But I believe that there's true love and there's foolish love. They say you have such foolish heart when you don't think first before you decide about love....because you only consider what the heart says...even when it hurts.

"Two people awake with the burning desire to hold on.". That's romantic.

Nice poem, CP. I enjoyed reading it.

Love is addicting. There is different kinds of love. Age and new responsibilities lead us to better love and places. Thank you for reading and the comment.
