Love Poem by L MILTON HANKINS

This poem is exquisite, in a style echoing and attaining expression, attained by several of the greatest classical poets. I have a few in mind but do not want to limit discussion if others decide to give this poem the attention and readings it deserves. Thanks for waking the memories Milton.

a moment of correction, I think I was too tired, reading in the foggy edges of too much needed sleep, or too rushed and missed an important word " gilded edge." is a very effective line, with more impact due to the added dimensions of impact with regard to love as a masterpiece, and love framed with a gilded edge an example of a well chosen word and wonderfully precise turn of phrase which expresses ripples and waves of implications

'Love is like a masterpiece Framed with a gilded edge, Unmatched for worth or beauty Like a pure unbroken pledge' beautiful lines, I adore your discourse on love; yet even a gilded cage denies or restricts freedom choice; there are so many kinds of love, true love is the esteemed preferred option, other kinds including love lost leave varying aftertaste memories

Love embraces all our sorrows! ! ! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
