Love is a careless child.

"Know that love is a careless child, And forgets promises past." Sir Walter Raleigh

                            Love is a careless child


I took my pen to paper and wrote that love can be true,  can be just us looking for empty shadows where the emotion of love is gone.

Love is like a flower garden. We must water, protect and keep it safe. If we are blind and deaf to the need of love.
Bliss and sweet kiss can be forgotten and we will be left with regret and loneliness.

Love is like a careless child. Need to be entertained and kept alive with dance, laughter and passion.

The elixir of love is powerful. It is Good to be fasting in love. Making the need of the embrace and the kiss strong and a untamed flame.

Love is trickery. Love-mad emotion make us hold tightly late into the nights. Allowed us to lavish in skin to soft skin. Trying to become one body and thought. It there mercy in perfect love?

I asked the keeper of the bliss. Where do lovers go with no place to reach?  I knew the answers already.

Love is a careless child. Run and climbs not afraid of where it will land or end. Love is wild and free. Not concern for the ending. Just the moment of sweet kiss and coming bliss.

The song of love must be written. Idle in love will never know the miracle of pure recklessness and joy.
It is good to be young. Being drunk in the emotion of love are the best days and nights of a life.

Recalls some beautiful memories but the fact that those experiences/people are in my past with no possibility of ever resurfacing in my future, my feeling is pretty mixed. Maybe the lovers are flawed, but Love itself, though a careless child, is what makes up the best part of this world.

Beautifully penned.

Ancient writers taught us about love. Love had changed in modern times. Still hard to control and understand. Thank you for reading and the comment.

"Idle in love will never know the miracle of pure recklessness and joy."

That's a thought provoking line... Kindled love can lead to ecstasy that knows no bounds; which can also vulnerably label scars in our hearts... Love for me is a wary concept...It's not for all.

Loved your work. Yet again :)
Thank you!

Love is a careless child.
Love can be a careless child but with Ones that don't understand it
or know what they truly have.

But the ones that love
us the most hurts us the most
I believe is how it goes is what
I've been told :)

Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece.

Blessings. Kindred poet

Thank you Lovelace. Some answers are known before we question.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

love is like a careless child, sometimes we want to scold it, but other times we want to embrace it...

[Coyote Poetry]

Yes, you are right. Sir Walter Raleigh knew the truth. Thank you for reading and the comment.

"Love is like a careless child. Need to be entertained and kept alive with dance, laughter and passion."
I agree with that. We don't need to be serious and emotional all the time to say that we are really in love. For me, I want to be with my love one when I am in the mood to joke because we should stay together in sadness and joy. I am a cheerful person though I have many problems.

Thanks for this splendid piece.

[Coyote Poetry]

I really loved this write and its message. Love is splendid and fragile but well-worth maintaining.

Sir Walter Raleigh knew many years ago. Love need care and to be treated with tenderness and concern.

I like how you compared love to other things and explained it well. Not bad kid, love is like a careless child and a good quote at the beginning. Clever little poem here kid.
