Love Be Not of Reason

February 14, 2012

There’s no better day than Valentine’s Day to share a love poem. I have long been a great fan of romance poets, including Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Edna St. Vincent Millay.

Love Be Not of Reason is from my own journals…

Love Be Not of Reason

Love be not of reason,

No right nor wrong,

Love be of the season

For which there is no song.

No sense be made of desires

That once can cripple

But, the strongest tree

And, bring mere mortal man

Down to his knee.

Who sayeth that love must be so,

Who speak the words

Of Love and Woe

For truly as the sun doth shine

Your touch upon my lips

Be pleasure that is,

But, yours and mine.

Who knows what aching

Upon thy breast

Does bring your soul to lay and rest;

Weary in the arms of love,

That heal the questions

For which there be no answer.

Love be the stars that shine,

In darkest night

Bright in your eyes;

Love be the sun that rises

To seek a new day

Of pleasure in your arms.

Love be the song of ecstasy

When in its throws

We merge as one.

Love be not of reason

No right nor wrong,

Love be of the season

For which there is no song,

But that only of two hearts

That beat as one

In it’s sweet pleasing.

Gift Of Life

February 10, 2012

Searching through some old Word docs recently I found some of my poetry that I had put into Word docs from my journals. This one called out to be shared…

Gift Of Life

Love,
Be it an expression,
A word,
A thought,
A feeling;
Used oft by some,
Not by others.
For many it be
The truth that sets,
Them free.
For some it be
The chains,
That binds them.
Love,
To my tenet,
Be my gift
Of life.
For, I am free,
To love,
You;
And, all who touch
My soul
With the clarity
That each expression,
Be my gift
Of life,
To share with joy,
And oft
Forgiveness
In my heart.

(Gift Of Life & Red Day Lily ~~ c. Pamela J. Leavey)
