Love's Dues.
Love, blind to weakness sees what it chooses
yet when gladness turns frigid
rights could be abused.
Coldness inhibits in frowns of refusal
to enhance tender passion
thus scorning love's dues.
We what we are bear discord as duty
but love writes no duets for
rarely shared music.

Indeed love can become a duel, fought at dawn and lasting all week till somebody sensible - the male of course - gives in when he realises her last two hubbies died of food poisoning.
Ha ha - - you always come up with a corker my lovely - - am still giggling at that last line.
So apt, so true. Love works wonders.
Thank you Rozina.
'but when shadows cast images
sight could be abused.
Doubt born of judgement frowns in refusal'..
(some truly profound insights in these lines,
I couldn't help but connect your words
'admittedly, in a roundabout way'
to the theme of my post today)
thanks for reposting, dear Fay
another memorable poem
(Happy Valentine's day, dear Poet
'even if only
in remembrance and dreams
if we have a valentine to call upon
that to, is a blessing
we should be thankful for) 🌹🌹🌹
A thoroughly lovely comment and thank you my friend.
A duet
A duel
Writing a song
Or dwelling upon on swords
Love makes the most sane, insane above all
So well penned dear Fay
Agree dear spills love is the taker and the insane-maker and no doubt about it. Thanks for your visit and read.
A fine write Fay.
