Looking about Love from different perspectives.

What is really Love,
pink,black or white,
perhaps just being laid?

What kind of Love it is,
body,soul,self,
can anybody help?

What do we need it for,
care,closeness,amore,
perhaps only to earn more?

What make us then to Love,
outlook,character,fusion,
or just nothing more than an illusion?

But life is short,
and one day,the last,
we know the truth of our past!

What is then the truth of now,
freedom or freedom from freedom,
please,witch one to feed on?

What if there are much more to get,
understanding,trust and truth,
all under the same roof?

Why not just stop,what is in vain,
put wants aside and needs at first,
then there are less of tears from not needed hurts.

About this poem:
People looks to come up with so many different opinions about Love, but when we put True before the word Love, then all other perspective diminish to just dwarfs.
To understand True Love, we have first to be very honest to our self, because in these days there are millions and millions of things we can WANT, when True Love depend only about NEEDS. True Love has to do with deeper levels in our self and in a society, where almost everything is something from the outside, most people looks to have real problems to get in touch with deep inside and then they replace it with wants. Deep feelings and other inside trends, like need for a close relationship or happiness to spend time together in the home, have been heavily devalued.
These inside trends are following clearly the formula,that the weakest part of them is making the level of the hole in our self. I'm sorry to say it, but people in the West believe that they are on a higher level, than people in other areas of the world, when in fact I see them like headless chickens, running after this and running after that and from one gathering to the next, not having time to touch the real values of them self and the life. This way we have soon only Robots on this Planet. It is similar to, that we humans know a lot about space,we know about Moon and soon more about Mars too, but we know very little still about the deep part of the Ocean and we also have no respect for the Ocean,we over fish and throw all dirt in to it, destroying all life in it,with a very rapid time frame.

The deepest part of Ocean and deepest part of Selves....almost unknown territory. We truthfully are ignoring much of what we really are...our innermost values,feelings,worth....the world has our attention and we forget to look inside ourselves and each other. We can connect on higher level...but it will take wanting to see deeper and opening ourselves to Love..conversing handshake

Semsu, your message in this write is very timely in a time of such confusion and blurring of realities in the quest for "love". Your explanation of your poem is so true. The thought of over consumption and destoying our environment is what brings tears to my eyes. Everything in this vast world is free if we respect the beauty and stop all the greed! Very poingnant write and explantion. There is nothing here I would disagree with, nothing. I have lived in other countries and I concur with your thoughts on the "west". My roots are in Ireland and a simplicity and love of nature I grew up with including respect for all cultures. Thanks for your words! So nice to have your perspective here on this tiny spot in cyberspace!

Jade, your words are very sweet to read, but I can see that you live in the reality and I don't mean only Ordinary reality, I mean also Nonordinary reality and we need them both to understand the bigger picture of life.
It is so sad to see, when people believe they are living a happy life, in an empty space and they are ready to fight with all their power for something, that do not have any value in the end of the day.

Whisper,
tank's,you make my day.....Yes,Love can be solid only if it is based on understanding, trust and truth,even so many don't take it seriously and if opposite, then it is like the hourglass,running down to empty time!

one thing more,Physical chemistry has got a strong trend, because the very material world we live in, bat is fadd away easily as quick as it has arrive.
There are a much mor important indicator for a succesfull relationship and that is the vibration....every single thing, from Earth it self to the smallest particle has a vibration with a personal frequency and as music is showing it,when one string vibrate with a own frequency, if there are similar strings close theystart to vibrate the same tune.
We Humans are not exceptions, we have a vibration in our self, with a personal frequency and to get a life long stable relationship, we ned two vibrations that is in frequency close to each other and can with time start to vibrate in the same tune.
Also every particle has an other particle somewhere else, that is vibrating with the same frequency and no matter how far they are from each other, they tune together and it means that everything in our Universy is built up with two and not as one, so I can not see Human life different from that and that means for me, that to live alone,is very unnatural,even I believe that we still has wibration contact to somebody somewhere, if we live alone.
To follow the Naure, we can understand many things better in our life.

there's nothing bad in WANTS until they are from inner (true) needs, they are a voice of our soul then. an other thing is if those "wants" hail from social artificial standards of "what is good to have".
The most I liked this

But life is short,
one day,the last,
we know the truth of our past!

This trick is the most funny thing in life )).

The infinite ocean inside is still open for viewing....a lovely poem and discussion. What is love....but a picture built by us....embraced.....and patiently sitting there....waiting to be questioned again.teddybear gift angel

When we love, it is not importante to understand what is happening outside; fellings happens within us flower angel2
Semsu
Yes jazzy,the infinite ocean is open for viewing,if we give it a chance,but unfortunately most of us scratch only the surface,not knowing almost nothing about the real in our self.

Thanks for your comment,

Ninamil,

you are right,if we low the outside,we are loosers,because soner or later it is going to disappear,only the inside is always there.

Thank's for your comment,

Interesting poem and discussion that follows. There are things mentioned in them hard to understand, but we have feelings and they help a lot in finding our whereabouts, and we can count on them. God created humans to love and be loved in return, it is that simple, and if we leave this world without having experienced love even once it would be a great pity, it would be the opposite of what we were supposed to do. I hope this site is a great help for many seeking their second halves. Good luck to all. Happy New Year, dear poet, it was a pleasure to read the poem!wine bouquet

Beautiful thoughts about life and love.
Intangible frequencies that we all have as creatures of this planet, this whole universe and earth in it. We really have to take care of it very much.
Great perspectives in your poem really touched me and thanks for sharing . wave
