Love Store Closed

I see love

I feel love

I am glad

for those that love

but my love store

is closed

and I am good with 

that

I owe no taxes

I have inventory

I have employees

but my love store

is closed

and it scares me

that I am good with

that

so comfortable with it

I want you to shop

I want you to love, love

but my love store 

is closed

and I am good with

that

shop until your heart

is content...

My love.

the concept of a "love store" is intriguing. The fact that it is "closed" affords the possibility that it will reopen tomorrow, or may never open its doors again. It would be interesting to further develop the thought where you could discuss the different trinkets and curios available to buy..

[Holly Mason]

well I have inventory just saving them for something special...I love the fact that you want to see the stores wares thank you so much for reading

My love is not for sale. My love can't be bought. But I give it freely and receive it freely from those who truly care. Some folks define love as romance but I define love as caring more about someone else than you do yourself. You want their happiness more than your own. You are willing to work, sacrifice and take responsibility for their happiness...it's your job or even your "duty"...towards them. I think Jesus felt that way about everybody but he wasn't always happy himself. " A man of sorrows; well aquainted with grief..." is how the Bible puts it. I wish everyone in the world felt loved. Maybe you should have a "fire sale" and clear out the inventory... (smile)

I don't blame you a bit for sometimes we have to seek rest from tired days . It seems nowadays love is like a merchandise to be bought and sold even the TV stations shine the light on material love vs the spiritual one.
A very good unique write...:)

[Holly Mason]

thank you for reading and yes a rest but this is for the moment how I am happy*)

[Sami Khalil]

Hahaha. I agree . Hearts can open and close. You are welcome...:)

As long as the first two lines remain, then all is hood. Beautifully done Holly

[Holly Mason]

thank you for reading and yes those two lines mean the world to me I just don't want to be in love I would only cause others pain...but I love to see it feel it-I love,love just not in my store right now-*)

[Distant horizons]

Not in your store. I have to remember that line :-)

[Holly Mason]

Yes, dear Holly, I feel here your love still shining through for others, isn't that the most important friendship out of love you can give? Such a honest piece, of work, and
true freedom felt, you're a gem, in what you just reached here. Thanks for sharing this with us, poetess...

well thank you much I love and care about others but not ready to be in love myself...I am aware of that thank you so much for your kind words truly

I know the feeling dear.... ;) always to sweet for others.... but forgetting meself... so your words are speaking truth to me too :) I am going to delve into your library more.... when i have some time free.... you're most welcome always!

[Larry Dyson]

yes...sometimes it is needed to close down until promise is once more allowed to be believed in...well written. time for what was is long passed...
and for the future does not seem possible...
if these circumstances alter ...
perhaps ...
just perhaps ...
i can entertain it again

[Holly Mason]

by closing my store I will not hurt others because I know I am not ready...I just need my girls and to live what I have before me...causing no pain to anyone thank you so much for reading

[Larry Dyson]

yes..im agreeing ..you are wise to do so and speak it out loud..braveness is in the articulation some times.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

look at the merchandise but don't touch...and my heart is no longer for sale...

nice metaphor working here.

[Holly Mason]

thank you sir...I read all the lovely love poems and well this is about it for me unless I write about beauty no loving words come out...and I think at least I know that*)
