Why Love Stories? Poem by Fay Slimm

Heaven itself cannot hold hidden
Accounts of great human love.
Many a tale has been expertly written,
Transmitted by muse, but dispatched from above.

Great or tragic or merely mundane,
Love, as most writers stress
Is themed very often, with sweet love refrain.
And numerous tributes will always impress.

Love cushions, attracts, satisfies soul.
Pleasures desires, gives meaning
To why we aspire to do good - - makes us whole.
Inspires feats of courage, sets the heart dreaming.

Love seems to answer every heart's needs.
Great love affairs, requiring
Us to acquire more attention to lover's deeds,
Stress that Everyday love at times needs re-firing.

Why is the story of love so great?
It aids universal proof,
Which the Unseen world dares to anticipate
Will envelop the earth which needs nothing more
But - - - - - - LOVE.
