"Wings"

    "Wings"

 

If love had wings

It would fly

To your door;

Seeking entrance...

To offer itself

And so much more.

It would

Shyly knock...

Take one look

At your face,

Offer itself...

To all old fears

And tears

Finally erase.

If love

Had wings,

It would come...

Straight to you,

Climb into

Your heart...

And stay...

All life through.

 

If only love had wings!  Valentine

Sometimes, I think love does have wings...
It always seems to fly away...

Thank you Leslie for stopping by. Kathie

Wouldn't that be great for all the people running away from it? Love coming to offer itself?

[Valentine]

I believe that is just what it does. Kathie

[Samaira]

How do you believe that? isn't it still easy to reject it?

[Valentine]

Not when the right one grabs hold of your heart Sweetie. Kathie

[Samaira]

I hope so.

[Perkele.7885]

This is another well penned love poem!
I would not ask love to stay my whole life through
but, I would ask her to take away all the vestiges of old love's remains
so, that love and I could find each other on our own anew!

[Valentine]

Finding the right one early in life can be a blessing. Kathie

[FaeryQueen]

Love can take flight, to us or away from us, I guess it cannot be tied down Kathie, beautiful poem my friend :)

[Valentine]

Oh...I was tied a long time but never felt the rope. It was nice when he pulled on that rope to bring me close to him. Kathie
