Love Is A Language

Garth Rakumakoe

Spoken by many, heard by the few

love, is a language

 

 – Love -

is the only language

your pot plant knows

 

Affectionately so,

in the morning dew

love’s gentle fingertips softly

unfold and rise on their stems,

whence the heart’s goodness spills

from within, to the world

-

As the word says, they do

and eternally, they glow

because love, is a doing word

 

Open the curtains of your heart

Tend the garden of your being

take in the sun, and let love’s color

adorn the windowsills

of your soul, for written by many

yet felt by the few, love

is the only language

your pot plant knows

 

Of love, never let go

          'for written by many
          yet felt by the few, love'..
          how well these lines encapsulate
          the discord
          between our poetic portrayal, of love
          and the real thing, that few of us
          get to experience..
          so much passion, you invoke
          utilising such accessible wording..
          a great read!
          thank you for choosing to share
          dear empathetic Poet
          (sorry but I have been missing your posts lately
          so had to trace back and read your last few..
          hope you don't mind)

            🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... I must say, I really admire how you can detangle and lay bare the most complex of descriptions, in a manner that even a child would understand. Im left in awe every time you do that, genuine! - Thank you L.B. Appreciation is always appreciated brother. 🙏

          • Kathryn Amaka

            Never let go of love. Love is all that matters.

            Nicely written Garth🌷

            • Garth Rakumakoe

              Indeed it is. Thank you, kindly. 🙏🏼
