What price love?

Romance; at any price!

WHAT PRICE LOVE?

To a starving man’s play
The food tastes just as good
Whether the serving tray
Be made of gold or wood
And so with love, to a famished soul
The banquet is within the serving bowl

And to a sweet dream’s sight
Is a rich illumination’s affair
Beauteous, impressed flight
Which candle’s a darker air
And so with love, it’s cheapened worth
Is so much richer when brought to earth

Avarice is a saddened greed
This strive to grasping status
What gains us, this succeed
This base urge to elevate us
And so with love, a treasure’s sacrifice
Is freely gained at dear passion’s price

What price is this adventure
This love, so strong pursued
A tame heart’s strict censure
Where all angels fear intrude
And so with love, is impression’s impart
Love all you might, with a richest of heart

I like the way you compare love to those different things. It certainly builds up a panoramic picture.

Beautiful the way this flows the lesson the the story the heart. We learn these things through the years and look back on them wondering why we never knew

I love to write adages and each verse to this write was taken from an adage...As 'To a staving man, food tastes just as good whether the plate be made of wood or gold.' Thank you, Tate, for your kind comments and so appreciated... Ron.
