Love Or Love's Archetype Poem by Johnathan Stokes

How to love, my love
which way do you prefer?
Love as a feeling
or love as a word?

A love that goes away
as time passes by,
a love turned to nostalgia
too soon to say good-bye?

Or a love that operates on no time,
no approach of finality or an end to be near?
A love that sings a melody
chirping birds stop to hear?

How to love, my love
which way to love you?
We could do all the foolish things
that wise lovers do...
