poem: love simplified

poem: love simplified

A Chapter by Marie Anzalone

I need you

to help me

stumble upon

the greatness

that was placed

as a hidden obstacle

in all of our

daily paths

but that I

kept walking over

without

ever noticing.


It's just that

you make me

want to look

deep in the earth

for such

beautiful things

so I can give them later

to you.

... wow, gorgeous Marie... everything, fits within these simple yet depthless two stanzas...
A love to realize what was always there and never noticed, open those inner doors that might have otherwise remained closed, find and culture that profound greatness within... and to give something just as vital and irreplaceable back too...

Funny how it is those fragile ones, who leave behind the widest trail of broken hearts...

I forgive them all their fragility... I was one of them once, too

I like the format here, it's like taking the reader by the hand and guiding them where they need to go What they need to see. A poem with deep meaning, Marie.

Yes, true love has a way of bringing the best out of us.
I love simply stated verse like this! Help "me to stumble upon," nicely put. Being an "earth" gal myself, I really believe that's where those treasures lie.
