Scented Solutions.

 

I found this quote inspirational.
"Love's gift cannot be given, it just waits
to be accepted." (Anon.)


The suchness of love's fragrant devotion

lies in ways

its acceptable potion is made.

Being tenderly constant sweetens trust 

in each other

without which contentment can fade.

 

Disbelief  dilutes strength of intentions

and effort 

for doubt renders eagerness inactive.

Best motive stales faced with indifference        

counting too

costly perfume for tolerance factor.

 

The keeping of  togetherness fragrance  

lies a lot

in the way scented solutions are made.

    Fay,
    like the quote, love the poem. There really is a lot more to love than just saying "I love you". I think the last two lines of the poem I just published could be quoted here: Love.....is a bit of courage and a whole lot of work.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Very true Fred - - love will be ever a challenge and certainly needs courage and work.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Thanks FAY for another lovely Love Poem and complimentary visual. In my experience the "Fragrance of True Love" eludes the Perfumers of the World. It is unique to each favoured Couple and can neither be compounded or bottled ! Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Yours BRIAN

      • Fay Slimm.

        I agree Brian - love can never be bottled, sold or bought so it eludes many who want only words with no soul.

        Great work Fay - a gem

        • Fay Slimm.

          Ah thanks Michael - Glad you discerned it as perfumed with word-gems.

        • Louis Gibbs

          As your poem states so well, love requires "Being tenderly constant" in the relationship. It requires an effort and attentiveness on the part of both. It cannot be taken for granted. This is so well messaged in your fine poem, Fay. Thank you!

          • Fay Slimm.

            Yes Louis I do agree that love needs effort from both - thank you for your continued support of my writing efforts.

            Great write, love is so much in our lives, can it ever be completely explained.

            • Fay Slimm.

              Too true dear G. - love can never be completely explained. Thanks for that thought.
