She asked him if he loved her
He said “that depends,
Do you think love’s the saving grace?
Or do you think it’s the end?”

Hmmm this makes you think.
I think it's the saving grace, something absolutely beautiful.
Nicely questioned. -
Wow.
That's it just wow. -
Well this is a short little poem, but it definately makes the reader think about it.
Good one, thanks for this entry as well

i'm really glad you like it. Whenever a piece touches someone it has been worth it. and no, i don't mind your asking how long i've been writing... honestly.. i couldn't put a date on it... i've loved the written word since i was small... I suppose i started Really writing.. and not just... i don't know how else to say it except, "meaningless crap writing" about five or six years ago... (i know, you'd think with a time frame like that i'd write better, but what can ya do?) Thanks again for reading. I'm Really pleased to know you liked it.

Wow. So meaningful yet meaningless, vague but precise. An amazing poem, I love it. How long have you been writing, if you don't mind me asking?
My favourite bit has to be...
"She asked him if he loved her
He said “that depends,
Do you think love’s the saving grace?
Or do you think it’s the end?”"
... I couldn't choose just one bit, I love it all. (But only in my eyes is it love, it may not be in yours, just a great admiration.)
Peace

fantastic
i love it, because of an ultimatum. kinda makes you wonder, what is love, but the answer is simple, love, and life, is what you make it. love can be abusive or sweet. the beginning or the end or both... thank you for sharing this with me!!

again you understand Beautifully... That is the point, to steal a line from the book 'their eyes were watching god' "Love is like the sea, it's a moving thing, and it's different on every shore." and that's the point, he knows weather or not he loves her, but who's to say love in her eyes is the same as in his. I
m glad you liked it, and i'm glad it stirred your mind and made you think, that's just another one of the beautiful things about poetry. -
A+
Hmmm... You know that is a good question... Though, if I asked someone if they loved me and they gave me that response, I'd be pissed and say that they did not love me. Love, in my opinion does not come from what the other person thinks about love, but what you think of it... This poem brings up so many questions for being so short... It leaves me... with an unkown feelings and thoughts... Thank you so much for sharing, your words, thoughts, and experiences with all of us here. -
Beyond Words
Oh my lordy... that's it. You said before I found it.. well, you found the other it. Hot damn... That is it. Wowzer I love your work--this makes me heart hurt and feel happy at the same time. I don't think I'll ever read/see/hear enough of your poetry m'dear.
