Love

Love


Spawn, not brewed.

Grown, not  built.

Groomed, not pruned.

A priceless jewel

Spoken of only by the loving. 

Hysterical, phenomenal,  hypnothic.

Love is the fairest of them all.

A hybrid gem, bringer of warm rains.

Slayer of savage beasts, tamer of wild giants.

Light in the dark tunnel.

Wind chimes of tomorrow's  promise. Whispers of yesterday's  sweet memories.

To love is to be free eternal.

You layer your words beautifully, Darlington.
"Whispers of yesterday's sweet memories" is a perfect turn of phrase that not only evokes deep feeling but sounds lyrical when spoken aloud. Excellent writing as always. : )
