Love Replete

 

Stars shine across the heavens

Meteors flash in velvet skies

Fresh flowers blossom

In green meadowsgrass

Whilst true love rises high

 

Just as stars above are endless

And shall never deplete

For as so long

As the silver’y Moon shines

Our love shall be replete

 


 

Love is but a whispered hope

A shimmering moonbeam

Impressionistic

A motif; a trope

A scant remembrance of a cast-off dream




Love Is Purpose

 

Friendship

Is relationship without purpose

I asking nothing of you

You nothing of me*

 

While with Love

Relationship is the purpose

Each giving all to the other

Expecting nothing in return

 

But hoping

 

*Quote from Billy Connolly, former US Poet Laureate, on PBS Newshour 12/18/25, I think of friendship as a relationship without purpose - I not wanting anything from you, you nothing from me
