Author's preliminary Note: This humble attempt at Poetry,

written initially as a review's comment,

is dedicated to my friend & esteemed

Poet Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU,

whose Poem, Love Rescues,

truly inspired the Muse of this poetic endeavor:

(https://allpoetry.com/poem/16662995-Love-Rescues-by-Andre-ben-YEHU ),

Though love is not god,

and god (if god, in fact, exists),

is assuredly not love¹,

as per lies of wise guys,

totally liars and never wise.

Love is that glue

that makes for relationships true,

provides wives true

for men like me and you,

and holds this world together,

when in danger of flying apart,
as men so often forget:

Love is a gift and never an easy art,

never an art to be taken lightly,

but an art to be treasured -- always ...

Love is, simply, above,

above all else and above all,

all to be desired, held, or had ...

Love stands alone and on its own ...

Love is that Primal inspiration's source of all:

all that is worth the living, and the dying, for ...

Without love, there is no Man,

no Mankind,

and no Human Race ...

Without love we cease to exist

-- and that without a trace ...

[Betty Hermelee]

I agree with Marvin...love is life..to not experience love is not to have lived....love binds us together into one and gives us pleasure that you can't have alone.... love is passion, so sensual that it excites your whole being... love is intangible but it necessary for man to live his/her life....it is pure rapture...
Thanks for sharing...
Best, B....
Please read my series of poems beginning with "At Bridges End", thank you!!!!
