We Need Love Poem by Kevin East

We all need love
Like a child needs a mother's hug
Like a soldier needs rum in his mug.
That grey soul fixer
The old elixir
Since we were born.
Our hearts now new
Where they were torn.
When push comes to shove
One hand fits the glove
We've always sighed
That we need love.


We need kisses
Those hits to heal our misses.
The dancing in the dark
Enhancing one small spark
As two lost souls finally embark
Along the path of joy and pain.
Warm pleasant sunshine
After our rain.
One flower of hope
On barren plain.
As our dreams leave on a train.


We need love.
To feel again.
Like cheating death
With bated breath
I pen my rhyme.
Though dove released.
Our symphony ceased but was still sublime.
We took that stardust flight.
The love we made
In forest glade
Stole sweetest moonlit night.
So roll the dice
And Lady luck
Will either smile or frown.
We all need love
That could be hiding
Within a weeping clown.
