Blaze!

(Why Love?) 

 

Why ....

a heart, if not to love,

  for someone’s life to be part of,

a mind, if not to know

  thoughts of love to endless flow,

a soul, if not to feel, and

  them too, in honesty reveal?

 

Why ....

a mouth, if not to express

  my love for her, my tenderness,

lips, if not to kiss, 

  dare I to dream of a night of this,

cheeks, if not to caress, 

  feelings not to suppress,

eyes, if not to beauty see, 

  expressing the heart in the midst of me? 

 

Why ....

a soul, if not to grow, 

  my love for her to truly show,

emotions, if not to speak 

  of the love my heart’s to seek, 

a longing desire, if not

  kindled feelings of burning fire?

 

Why ... 

this body, if not to give

  my life if not to live? 

For tender nights, 

bodies holding, spooning tight. 

this passion forever ablaze, 

nights lost in a lustful haze. 

 

Why ....

arms, if not to hold

  her until our days are old,

fingers, if not to entwine, 

  for someone to at last be mine,

skin, if not to caress,

  why love, if not to possess? 

 

Why ....

this life, if not to share, 

  to run away in love somewhere,

this heart, if not to care, to

  show her love, her beauty rare,

this soul, if not to express, to

  long for endless happiness?

 

Why ... 

her heart, if not to feel

  my love inside oh so real, 

her eyes, if not to see

  this blaze burning 

  in the heart of me.

 

My love for her I send,

  endless love until the end.

All great examples of what love should be and how love should last. I found this to be a breeze to read through for its simplicity and romantic flair.

Good one, Richard. :)

Thank you for reading Relic. It was actually a breeze to write too; emotions were talking loud that day! I'm glad you liked it.
Take care my friend :)

This is absolutely beautiful. It seems like a confession almost, of one's greatest hopes and desires, with a simple but powerful question asking, what are we here for if not for all of this? It's a lovely theme, and the rhythm flows so nicely, like a song.

These lines did it for me, as it seems to connect all of the ideas;

emotions, if not to speak,
of the love my heart’s to seek,

and when you write of nights lost, the structure is lost too temporarily, as if the writers thoughts are hazy, projecting visions or perhaps memories.

For tender nights,
bodies holding, spooning tight.
this passion, forever ablaze,
nights lost in a lustful haze.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Richard.
Best,
Laura
