“What Is Love”

“does anybody love anyone anyway?”
really, does anyone know?
i once thought
love could grow on trees,
the passion a love fruit
filled with gentle kindness
and a moon lit breeze
that would knock you to your knees.
so i loved you,
ate burning fire,
walk’d on hot coals,
but you just ran away.
so here i am today
playing this lonely lyre.

The longing in this one is palpable, Curt. Love does not grow on trees, but it does need to be nurtured and watered. Even walking through hot coals does not prove to some people how much you NEED to be with them. A bittersweet write with a great 80's song to accompany it. Very "nice". Lydi**

now that phrase "make like a tree and leave" is not so funny...too many autumns...

Great question. I used to believe in getting married and living happily ever after and growing old together with someone. Maybe we just love for awhile and move on. I don't know. But still kind of believe in happily ever after. Maybe I watch too many movies though. Good poem.
