Just a kiss, maybe?

A poem for Poetry day. 21 March.

Just a kiss, maybe?

I told the sad woman in the tavern.

Love is fleeing moments, we cannot catch.

Catching love is is like trying to catch a falling leave, in the late September.

Need luck or a miracle to grasp and keep.

The bar poet told the pretty Texas gal.

Love is just myth and tale for the most of us.

Love cannot be held prisoner, love must be given.

It is like when the sun-kiss on our face.

We must appreciate.

Once you asked for, just a kiss.

I told you, if I kissed you.

I would want more kisses.

She smiled and she whispered.

Dear bar-poet.

Just a kiss, Maybe?

love must be given...not taken.. and a kiss is just a kiss (some song) a fleeting moment like a leaf falling from a tree....I like the way you distinguish love which should last... and a kiss is a maybe??? it doesn't have the deep free feeling of love..you contrast and compare the two very well john....Best,
B.

Love cannot be held prisoner, love must be given.
It is like when the sun-kiss on our face.

No truer words were ever spoken about love. One cannot chase love and catch it. Once cannot hold it and keep it prisoner. One cannot will love or make it happen. It kisses our face as the rays of the sun. As and when it pleases. We may turn our face away from the warmth of it yet it won't change the whimsical nature of love.

This was a beautiful poem on the nature of love.

Thank you Divya for reading and the comment. Love is a grand emotion.

You are most welcome, dear Coyote. Your poems bring such emotion to the fore.

"Love cannot be held prisoner, love must be given." Heavy stuff there. All control freaks should read this line, for it might explain to them why all their relationships suck. On the other hand, they probably wouldn't see how it pertains to them.

Rugged love. Emotions dripping over glasses and smokey tales. Romance at all times. Well done my friend.
