Without Your Love. Poem by J.A McManus

Without Your Love.

Rating: 5.0


Without your precious love
I’d be as empty as a drum
You’re my entire world
My stars, my moon, my sun.

Without your precious love
I’d be a lock without a key
You’re my entire world
My waves, my sand, my sea.

Without your precious love
I’d be as hollow as a lie
You’re my entire world
My clouds, my wind, my sky.

Without your precious love
I’d be a garden with no turf
You’re my entire world
My rain, my grass, my earth.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Beautifully written with rhyme and rhythm and with much sensitivity and purpose. I love how the last line in each stanza is not a repetition which it could be, but it changes with every stanza. 10 Love Karin

How dry and dull life is to him without her love, but it is sweet and bright when he feels her love's presence. Interesting piece.
