susceptible
i'm so susceptible
to love
now I have to
walk away
keeping love at bay
or i'll fall
into a place
i really don't
want to be
love's not for me
anymore
in another day
i would have my way
then I'd fall
into a place
i don't want
to be again
no, not for me
i'm susceptible
so susceptible
that i have to
stay away from love
protect myself
for too easily I fall
fall and tumble
into a world
filled with troubles
that place
I dont wanna be

But if thet true love comes your way d a I am sure you will be so grateful.

I'd push it away and throttle it before it got close Andy. I don't want to waste time risking it.
too many people live, estranged
from the very notion of loving
as a required element, in their lives
but
those very same people, are sadly
morosely - quite often, usually
the people with the most love, to give...
(your words, remined me of the lyrics
to one of my favourite songs
by Joshua James:
'This road has over taught me lessons
About my lonely soul
I am young and getting wiser
Soon I will grow old
Strip my heart from misconceptions
Fill my eyes with greed
Let me make my own convictions
In this endless sea
Of muscle cars
And endless bars
Of shopping centres for the teens
Of our price propane
And crack cocaine
And lovers without love
like me'
song is titled,
'Lovers without Love')
thanks for sharing
such a poignant poem Dusk
your words spoke to those parts
of myself, I keep buried
beneath all my posturing, poetry..
Thank you LBM. I have enjoyed my share of romantic love but as i grew older i noticed i was sharing a load of baggage from someone elses life now encroaching on my lifestyle. I've become selfish, i don't want to rub shoulders with, nor share a bed with, someone elses baggage.
Dear Dusk Love is not something to walk away from.It has its ups and down but our whole existence revolves around it.
I should have made it clear that this piece is about romantic love not the whole sphere of love. I have plenty of love in my life but dont want any more of the romantic kind. To say romantic love is not something to walk away from would be both ignoring a persons right to make the choice and also ignoring the huge amount of people who chose to live without it. At my stage in life with lovely grandchildren i am well aware of what love is as regards our existence.
Yes my friend I think I get the message in this. If we have felt it all and got stack full of memories why is there need for more, if in 20 years mine was all to fall.
I'd happily just love nature and wait for the call, after all I was told its more a doing word not a thing called love 😉
Thank you Dan, lets see some more of your wonderful videos please. They always bring a big smile to my face.
Guess I'm lucky - I live with the love of my life but should I be left on my own I'll never seek another. Just count my blessings.
Great write by the way.
Thank you ME. You and yours are truly fortunate ones.
Well Cupid might surprise
Who knows what is love
Just love yourself
A self love is the greatest love
Good one dear dusk
Yep, yep, yep.
The very best of luck and good wishes for whatever happens in the future.
Thank you Rozina.
The complexities of a love complex we cannot live with and cannot live without! - I love your depiction!
Thank you Garth.
