A Word About Love Poem by Thomas Golding

A Word About Love

Rating: 5.0


How light the space when you're all near
A flight of swans across an evening sky
Who wheel and turn with grace before descent
To mirrored lakes for lovers to admire.

If you loved yourselves as lovely as you are
Then pursuit of love would never cause you pain
Which I share when the world turns away
Unable at times to say what I might feel.
Recall the words of Propertius
'Love could recall beauty where none was.'
When you took up these lowly creatures
Reason called you were still embracing frogs.

Know I love you all in my own way
Even when you deserve some feathers plucking
Or at least a friendly scolding at the waste
Of time and effort on the undeserving.

I'll give you metaphorical roses instead
Deepest red naturally
If you could in return; please
Search under a better class of rock.
