I've read of love
That hopeless yearning
The primal urge to join another
Kissing their skin
Seizing the moment
Boundless steps of silken joy
Seeing the light
Swaying together
A pair of graceful dancers
Passionate fire
Love grows from this cell
This speck this egg of promise
So does love last?
As written in books
With you I will take that chance

And worth taking too.
ReplyDeleteSweet, the thought and the poem in full. Very seductive.
ReplyDeleteYour romanticism never fails you!
ReplyDeleteVery romantic, Oldegg!
ReplyDeleteTake a chance egg. Enjoy all the brilliant moments of it.It does not have to last. That sort of attitude is like saying I must never leave the house in case I get run over by a passing car.
ReplyDeleteI think taking the chance is the only way... it might be a painful road to walk... but how would you ever know?
ReplyDeleteA succinct and skilful poem Old Egg - like all your wisdom condensed into a little egg of knowing..who cares if it lasts as long as it's enjoyed
ReplyDeleteSuch a romantic write :D I believe that kind of love exists and we just need to look in the right place. Beautifully penned. Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights.
ReplyDeleteLots of love,

I echo Jae Rose's words. These words come from a knowing heart, one who understands that even if forever is not part of the equation, the experiences of now will stay with us for always.
ReplyDeleteLove softens us, emboldens us, brings us pain and joy. Yes. It's worth a chance. Always.
ReplyDeleteGreat rewards come to those who take chances.
ReplyDeleteI took a chance with your poem, and was rewarded with a delightful read!
I think you should take the chance better than living with regrets...
ReplyDeleteI do think love is worth taking a chance on. As Truedessa said, it is better than living regrets for not giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful proposition, and it is what we do...take a chance...have faith and trust. But really it is living in those moments of love that makes it last, or so I have noticed these many years.
ReplyDelete"With you I will take that chance." A wonderful conclusion. Funny, as I was reading, I kept remembering our high school principal teasing our class about the "googly-eyed, two-headed monsters" he saw driving past the school........kids, sitting close together, all aglow....LOL.
ReplyDeleteLove that ending.... so sweet
ReplyDeleteThis is romantic ... I loved the last stanza the most ... love is beautiful, so why not take a chance :-)
ReplyDeleteLoved the last stanza...so beautifully weaved! :)
ReplyDeleteLove is a slow seductive waltz for some, a brief quickstep for others. I took a chance...

Taking chances are what life and love are built on,

Love the question and the response. Enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteAh - the quest for love, stirs the embers of youthful joy in all ages ... perhaps less ardent with time, but lovelier in its own way - for not only does love last: it becomes deeper.
ReplyDeleteOh, this made my heart melt.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, and full of hope. Nice.
ReplyDeleteso sweet & romantic!

There's nothing like plunging in and to see what gives! No risk no gain!
