"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a percious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.  

John Lennon

 

 

Shall we gather our strength

Try to save our marriage

Make it what it once was

Sprinkle some love

See if it will grow

Flourish it back into a beautiful rose

 

Let us not lay blame any longer

It was a two way street of destruction

My antic ways caused you so much pain

You paid me back with your shenanigan ways

Our behavior nothing but puecile

 

Loki god of miscief became our closest friend

Each strived to see how much hurt we could lash out

Showers of love became like a drought filled relatinship

Shall we desseminate love?

See if it will grow

 

Cosmos is still waiting to wake up

Let us warm it with our solar heat

Revive happiness once again

let divine hope carry us through

 

Our affection for one another became scarely

Hearts became torn like a withering flower

Vows we treated trifling

Can we put nirvana back into our marriage?

 

A path of loveable seeds we need to sow

Deep in the abyss of our heart and soul

Water and nurture daily with.....

Kisses

     Hugs

           Kindness

                   Making love

Beatific will blossom in time in our levity hearts

Shall we try?

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

This was 2 challenges for the creative poetry goup: I took both and combined and made one poem. The words are in my tag box I had to use. The other challenge was to pick a quote which is at the begining of my poem and write about it!
Tell me what you think!

Reviews

[Jeremy Baker]

I really admire the way you have paid homage to John Lennon and also so expertly employed each of the words in this way. Great writing!

[WindSong]

I really like the sentimentality in this poem as well as its structure and strength. Love like a flower needs nurturing! Great poem!

[Wolf's Dark Song]

A wonderful poem and message too. Marriage isn't just fun and games, it takes work on both parties, work and love.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

Good message/lesson portrayed in this poem!

[Tina Kline]

I think there's a chance this marriage can survive since they aren't opposed to look at the problem and not blame each other anymore. An truly outstanding write!

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem told the truth. Wise people know love is tender and need care. People who don't pay attention and show no appreciation for their number two. Could be left alone. You are Lennon hit the subject with wise words. Thank you for the excellent poem.
