Awaiting Love Poem by Barry Middleton

Awaiting Love

Rating: 3.3


Love's gift cannot be given,
it waits to be accepted.
Rabindranath Tagore

love can only be offered
it is the greatest gift

if it is not accepted
the loved one is poorer

why do I force suffering
because of love refused

if I grieve the loss of love
then was my offer true

or did I bargain for love
like a miser making a bid

or could it be for some
that love is not enough

Thank you. In have a strongly held belief that a gift is a gift. If I expect some reward for giving, it's not giving, it's selling or as I say in the poem - bargaining. Glad you liked the poem.
