PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The love I hope to believe in

offers real attention

when cold shoulders bear icicles

and a warm compliment

or an able hand to gently rub the back of your neck 

palpably makes life more okay in that dedicated moment

The demeanor I hope younger men pursue 

is of a true gentleman

and

while searching for love 

A true gentleman should make his interests known

then simply back away

Others should expect your trusty mettle 

and time is the only welder 

And if they like what you've built

and have to offer

you cannot half-ass what comes next. 

Accept yesterday, but commit to right now

and cherish everything.

Even the horseshit. 

It's still more meaningful that anything

Sony, Disney, or Nintendo could ever concoct

So I'll cut to the chase, young Padawans 

and insist upon you now 

that attempting to use your brain

in matters of love 

is often futile and massively inefficient

Rely on your heart 

Develop how you love along the way

Understand that love is not confined to the tangible properties comprising this blue marble

I recommend choosing to inhabit an infinite world

even when every single exterior force on this planet denies you.

Be the rock when tides swell

and be the light when all's well
