Love And Kindness Poem by Phil Soar

I took love and wrapped it in kindness
Thinking that was all it took

I placed my heart in protected custody
While my actions presented themselves

Holding hands and sending flowers
Loving embraces lasting hours

Traces of passion as the sun set
Sleeping among stars where comets met

Heightened senses, warm tender kisses
Wrapped as a gift to sweep her away

Not expecting the throwback
When boredom called

Too much inevitability when love became tedious
And yet, I had wrapped love in kindness

Too much kindness
