Love Poem by Lee Jackson

Love

Rating: 5.0


What is but more marvelous then love?

A spattering of food is but termed
The very essence of it is a quick relief
From the longing suffer of hunger
It rapidly comes back to haunt you
With its demand it hunts your life

What lasts longer then Love?

The desire of the flesh? Is this it?
Fleeting respite does this but bring
Quickly you spend your life in thus
Never fulfilling, rather destroying
Rapidly your friends fade away
Your pocket empties, hope dies

What is greater then Love?

Surely a close friend would do?
A friend of pleasantness and calm
But they don’t last long
Quickly they find something better
Growing ever so distant, ever so cold
Until the connection of life ceases to hold
One or another will find their way
To the realization of your bold way
Always knowing what you want
But never wanting the sameness you crave

What is better then Love?

Maybe the study of logic?
In your study you find peace and wisdom
You find it all for loss
The steps years ago
Taken in vain have bought you nothing
Your wish was lost in your hunt
The desire kindled weaker still
You knew something was wrong
You left your books and song

What is Love?

Love...

The same dagger of the past
You hunt for answer
Finding only rumors, you seek on
Searching here and there, until at last
You find the book of love
Diligently you study her pages

What is this rare thing called Love?

Finding puzzlement within
you seek answers yet again
A wise man give you understanding
You turn back to the book only to understand
How little you understand of this beloved book
The very pages of love become but
More and more harder to read
Between the tears at your loss

What is love? Its a phenomenal kinda question.It can encompass many scope and criteria but to me, love is something so divine and the greatest love of all which were given by God, is the love for our parents and children.Great writes Lee.
