Allow Love
Stop trying so hard for it
Open arms say, yes, yes, yes
waiting for
expecting it
knowing without a doubt
trusting the process
having faith it will come
living like amor already adores you
in the present
your present
a gift unwrapped
because you believed in the ribbons
decorating
embellishing
trimming
boxed thoughts
like wishes
enclosed carefully in heart’s chamber
blowing in the wind
but not away
❤️
Carried as dreams
made in the quiet hour
hope- conviction- allegiance
poised promises
delivered to self
guarantees shipment
a letter addressed to no one
no one in particular
envelope
licked and sealed
stamped with postage
travels
spiritual miles
to the appropriate recipient
name
unknown to you
not yet, not now
but wait…
❤️❤️
Yes, wait
expedited shipping
a worldly affair
needn’t apply in spiritual realms
a paper trail
prevails
and it will
when the trying too much stops
STOP!!!
you stop
halt heavy handed headspace
halt pushing poetic prophecy
halt right here, right now
raised eyebrows
squint and scrunch
yours-
brow beaten retrospect
“let if flow”
theme you neglect
is only first class mail
when you let go
sooner released
sooner appeased
love will prevail
timely
by a postman
armed for carrying
delivery guaranteed
when you are ready
to receive
❤️❤️❤️
Dear ones,
Allow love, it will come-
When you stop trying so hard for it
Thanks for reading❣️

I’m back to congratulate you on the Top Story! 🎉
Such a thought provoking stream of consciousness piece! And congrats on a well-deserved Top Story!
❤Very nice writing, I hope you succeed.❤
Surrender to its inevitable embrace.
Beautifully written Marilyn. It’s strange how love finds you when you’ve given up and are resigned to being alone.
I did stop trying to look for it. It did come. But then it also left. And it destroyed me. So yea, now I'm chasing away any love that comes. I don't wanna do that to myself again. Loved your poem!
A wonderful and often much needed reminder to just let love happen when it happens and never to try and rush love!
Beautifully written!
Love and patience go together to be truly understood. Good job.
The Wonderful Poet strikes again!! Beautifully done, Marilyn. It's such a sweet poem, and it makes a nice change to focus on love 😁 And to echo Heather below, this had such a great flow to it. Really enjoyed reading!
Such a deep piece. I loved the flow, how one idea tumbled and morphed into the next. Great sentiments and writing :)
There is such truth to your words, we just need to accept and embrace.
Such a nice poem, Marilyn!
