Love's Simple Philosophy
Over the mountains and over the waves;
Under the fountains and under the graves;
Under floods that are deepest
Which Neptune obey
Over rocks that are steepest,
Love will find out the way.
You may train the eagle
To stoop to your fist;
Or you may inveigle
The phoenix of the east;
The lioness, you may move her
to give over her prey;
But you'll never stop a lover:
He will find out his way.
Under the fountains and under the graves;
Under floods that are deepest
Which Neptune obey
Over rocks that are steepest,
Love will find out the way.
You may train the eagle
To stoop to your fist;
Or you may inveigle
The phoenix of the east;
The lioness, you may move her
to give over her prey;
But you'll never stop a lover:
He will find out his way.

Whether it's "To him that will, ways are not wanting" [1640 G. Herbert Outlandish Proverbs no. 730] or "Where there's a will, there's a way" [1822 W. Hazlitt in New Monthly Mag. Feb. 102] or Love's Simple Philosophy, may it be so!
I had to boot Richard off of my laptop, he was taking it over.
I'm glad you liked this one. :) Love has a very simple philosophy if we just let it grow as it will. :)
good to see you back. Wishing you a speedy healing.

Best wishes

>_<.... Mr. Bear writes from his lovely heart and Mary's poems come from her lovely soul. When a heart meets a soul, it's a perfect lovely match and .... a perfect lovely LOVE!!!! XXXXXXXX Awww
no horses or cowboys in sight here Ros
but lovely for all that
I tried to come up with a close that seals the deal. :) I'm so glad you like it.
I hope this solved all of love's problems, glad it helped you. :)
I am healing, slowly but surely. :) I'm so glad you liked this work.
Glad you liked this. :)
Glad you liked this one. :)
I'm not so certain that I write a better poem than my better half.
Richard does write from his heart and I write from my soul. Very good observation!
Nope, not delirious. Tired a bit is all.
If it's cowboys and horses that fill your soul, try "Real Affection" and "The Money For Her Diamond". :) Glad you liked this one.
