HAND OF LOVE

POETRY: BY – JOSEPH MAXWELL SPENCER

---

I say what’s your take on love?

I experienced love with a certain lassie once

***********************

I say some people want to be shown love in public places

But some preferred theirs in private places

***********************

I say love is an entirely different animal

I think I’ve been in love since

***********************

I say love is not running around full of hormones

Trying to bang everything in sight

***********************

I say if you want to talk about love

I think it’s something you can’t go in and out of

***********************

I say you never fall out of love

I’m speaking from my own experience

***********************

I say when you feel true love

It overcomes death and separation

***********************

I say for most of my ex-girlfriends

I do have a certain level of affection for them all

***********************

I say when you are in-love and separation came

I bet nothing felt worse

***********************

I say a times I couldn’t eat or think straight

I lay in bed depressed day after day

***********************

I say sometimes the pain of separation was so unbearable

I didn’t care if I lived or died

***********************

I say love is strictly not a remedy for loneliness

It’s the joy of sharing your life with another person

***********************

I say love is expensive in terms of emotion

There’s always a price to pay

***********************

I say is it better to have loved and lost or not to have loved at all?

That’s the age old question

***********************

I say the sheer helplessness of being in prison is worse

I hope the lived experience of being in love lasted longer for you than it did for me

***********************

I say to be alone is a brutal thing

Without the love of your life to give you comfort

***********************

I say languishing in love amounts to mental torture

I pray to walk with the love of my life hand-in-hand again for eternity.
