When The Heart Chooses

love defies all logic

all boundaries, land and sea

it permeates through walls of rock

through doors without a key

unafraid of any borders

undeterred by darkest night

it doesn't need two wings to soar

or eyes to give it sight

love settles where the heart says

it's carried on each breath

it burns as if by magic

it can't be killed by death

in truth it's unrestricted

not caged within a home

it can float into the heavens

it can comfort when alone

its fervour undisputed

true love remains unshaken

its diamond strength enduring

its presence unmistaken

dear Chris... a year later... and it seems the World is topsy Turvey. However, Love is a feeling that we choose through all sorts of Weather.
Our feathered friends still gather to sing their Songs, and I leave Seeds for them... for strength and fortitude. Be blessed... Pat

Best love poem I've read in a bunch! I love how you depict love so far beyond the typical romantic settings that it's usually trapped within. Love is so much more extensive than that & you have found so many ways to show we just can't get away from it, even if we think we might be! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Love is a mystery indeed. It chooses who it chooses and loves who it loves. It transcends borders and distances and finds bliss in the most unexpected of things. Beautifully conveyed, dear Chris. These words on love are memorable....
