Lukewarm Love

There's nothing worse than a Lukewarm Love,
Not passionate enough for marriage and doves,
Nor so hateful for middle finger in glove,
But comfort enough for an easy hug,
Yet distant enough for that rhythmic "off" tug.

This is very true. I hate that type lol.... great job!

This is a nicely relatable idea that you've transformed into artistic rhyming directions, using a ton of originality. Your poem reflects my own ambivalence about passionate vs lukewarm. On one hand, we think we want all this attention & adoration . . . until some lovable guy is in my face too much as I'm trying to be myself or live my life independently, then I start to want somma that good ole lukewarm love! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

yes, this is a tough one...maybe one side wants the romantic part, the other feels just friendly...or two have had passion lose that fire and get to comfortable with each other....just as companions.
i wonder if love can ever really maintain...that spark which begins it.

Makes me think of the people that I lusted for but never could create a fruitful meaning with

Thanks for your feedback, R. Bagby. I know what feeling you're describing. But when you think of lust, you kind of associate it with passion (hot). The idea I was trying to portray in this poem was a love that is comfortable and easy, but a bit numbing with lack of zeal (and passion). AKA lukewarm.
