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.

I liked the way you followed the star that Sir Walter Raleigh provided and then carried it forth from there. Love's a fire that must be attended to lest it go out for lack of fuel.

Good to follow the Masters of writing. They give us positive words to grow with. Thank you for reading and the comment.

" "Know that love is a careless child, And forgets promises past." Sir Walter Raleigh " great OPENING DESCRIPTION. It leaves no room for any after thought, really. Those who forget TO KEEP promises past never had honorable intentions.


Love is a JOKE.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Sir Walter Raleigh wrote the truth 400 years ago. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Shakespeare wrote better truths more than 500 years ago, as in the world we live in now, no man could ever match the chivalry that was him.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. Shakespeare was one of many great writers of his time.
