A re-worked piece - written now is tighter rhyme
and given a new title.
Heaven itself cannot forever hold hidden
Accounts of great human love.
Many a tale has been expertly written,
Transmitted by muse dispatched from above.
Great love or tragic or merely mundane,
Romance, as writers take pains to stress
Is themed very often on sweetest refrain.
And happy results will always impress.
Love cushions, attracts yet satisfies soul.
Pleasures desires, and gives much meaning
To why poets write that lovers feel wholly
Inspired, and find courage from dreaming.
Love will answer every scribe's needs.
Great love affairs often lapse and require
A verse to show neglect going unheeded
Proves ardour's dart needs a re-firing.
'Tho romantics can pen many verses on love,
With odes to amour, there is never enough.

Love is life for everyone , the love that resides in the raindrop lends a life to the earth . the love that's unleashed from a loving heart breeds humanity and causes ripples in the worlds' pond..love is the life of the metaphor that is no longer elusive and love is what makes the life tick and the smile click...this is a wonderful piece , crafted with skill and embroidered with a fine poetic needle that's handled well by your deft hands and mind....
Guilty as charged...Love this! My favorite line "The Heart Cannot Be Silent!" (from poem of same name) Dorothy A Poet Who Loves To Sing

True love lasts a lifetime, but only in one's mind no matter man or woman! Its difficult to find! but once it is engaged, and firmly set in place happiness know no bounds, in the human race.
This is a most beautifully re-written poem, Fay, one that's quite expressive and very aprpos to what many of us poets both feel and write about so often. Love is often the glue that makes a poem work, or a person able to endure almost anything in life as long as they can love and be loved. Your two ending lines are terrific! Carl.
Dear Fay - "Love cushions - attracts and yet satisfies the soul" - very true and this lovely line coming in the middle of your Poesie d'Amour sums up its essence. All poets have a touch of the romantic and despite the thousands of odes d'amour in thousands of languages - the subject is inexhaustible. At any age we can still be "surprised by love" - awesome. Thanks for sharing - love you thru poetry - Love the aqua photo !!! JOHN X LOL.
yes..there is never enough..you are right..this is beautiful!!!!
This world is vain without love,it keeps us alive...I love yur poem,its too lyrical and yu have written it very profoundly...I was really inspired by this sttuff....Cheers from Sri Lanka
I particularly liked the enjambment in this one - and the tighter rein you've used. The theme of the poem is timeless - love and dreams of happily ever. Such a lyrical poem! love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
So true is never enough to read and write of love...each one unique in its self... as is this poem.....regards
Great digital....better poem....Rhythmic rhyme scheme moves gracefully in drape from onset to close-out...You Rock Fay ! FjR
