I’ve been out the loop for a while – family stuff to organise. Lovely to come back to Blogland and find your lovely words waiting for me. Thank you Eric. Simple and beautiful.
Blogland? Hmmm. I’ve always referred to it as Blogsville. Oh well, a little ol town called Blogsville on an island called Blogsland – and the sun never sets (wink) on our empire (wink, wink)
A sacrifice willingly made for love even if this means to give up his youth. Could be in the current context where time passes away in a blink, but with no regrets for the love he had chosen and lived for. Could also be a mythological love of giving up his life/youth in one cast of the wand and hope to return and love again eternally. Beautiful expression of love.
Love is death to self, just like a seed is buried in the ground, shrivels, then grows into new life, bearing buds, then comes forth the fruit that bears more seeds, and the cycle continues.
This is stunning. I wonder how many of us reach this feeling of love for another.
Ah, when The One finds us, we’ll know, I reckon 🙂
A perfect ode to undying love!
Undying love, indeed 🙂
Eternal love.
Stunning and beautiful, Eric 🙂
Thank you dear. Have a great week ahead, Eric 🙂

Loved this Cycle of Love..
awesome post as ever Eric 🙂
The Cycle of Love indeed Jyoti.
As we relish the peaks, we need to endure and get through the troughs.
All good wishes, Eric 🙂
Beautifully written Eric!
If you may allow me to write here:
What is love?
An electrifying feeling
transcending life,
let’s all get a morsel-
satiated I can die
come back I will
for more loaves of it!
Wow! What a beautiful contribution Aparna. Thank you 🙂
The bread of life and love, Eric 🙂
what a love!
Indeed – just for one night…
Nice poem! Conveys the bond of eternal love beautifully.
Thank you Janna – glad my intent came through. Cheers, Eric
As noted by others…a lovely poem of devoted love.
Coming from one who writes thought provoking pieces – this is high compliment. Thank you, Eric
Another variant of the theme of eternal love.
Very true Ian.
The subject of love – written so extensively – yet draws us so…
An ode to love or what! nicely done..
Oh, went for a walk and picked up these words. Washed off the dirt and this is what I saw. A worthwhile after-dinner walk.
this is great and has really touched my heart…. 🙂
Thank you Moumita for your visit and comment.
Intense love can be hypnotic and touches those who are open and sensitive, I reckon.
All good wishes, Eric
Beautiful…..
One word – says it all 🙂

Yes, Jasey – there are several threads here as you’ve pointed out. Love and hugz, Eric
Very romantic! 🙂
Thank you – glad you found it so, Eric
this could be for worldly love, or heavenly love… powerful either way..
I like this very much.
Spot on! Several blooms and we pick the one that enthralls us. Thank you for the kind words, Eric

True love nevers dies. Once enacted, it lives on for eternity – in cycles. Thanks Dee, Eric 🙂
Absolutely splendid! 🙂
