If you want her,
open your ears
in place of your heart
if you want to know her,
open your ears
in place of your heart
if you want to know her,
open your mind
discounting life's affections
if you long to keep her,
bring with you empathy
forgetting all frivolousness
only in this manner
will you fully know
what it is
to love her.
Very well said, a reminder to all of us about love!

Express the sensitivity of our soul,
expressed in poetic form ... but, tied to our current reality.
Congratulations for your blog.
For this post, I can say,
I recognize the girl....in that picture ..
This is a beautiful and deep piece...love requires so much more than what is on the outside. Your poem certainly echoes the sentiment of the inner being. Nicely written.
