The heart of the matter

Of real true Love

By Novel AllenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

A bit of the aura of the warm hint of a new rose

Will hug the hand that does give of the rose

Mix with a dab of the soft kiss of the dew of morn

Add a dash of sun as its wee rays peek over the hill

To find a way to hug the hand that does give

That kind hand will oft give of self and of love

So very much is said about love

Yet in the end

All that sits at the crux of it all

Is the kind and pure true joy of self

That will give with joy and love

And does not

Lift the left hand for a tit for tat from them who gets

Self-less, a word of many a part

That says I give to you with free will

With not a wish or will for self

We live each day in love of self

Self-love is in a tear hid deep in joy

Joy that is in the gift of life

To give of self and bask in the give

That does not need a pat on the back

That is the true gift of love!

Love is kind

Love does not wish ill

Any that be who says any less

Has not felt or did ever know

Real and true Love!
