I would have to explain life,
Life is to be in constant giving
To strive to lift up another.
To welcome another's success
But not allow it to threaten
Your own success.
Love must be seen, felt
Not constantly told
Though much is given
When one is clearly told
To love is not to be broke
Or be a slave to another,
To love is to inspire, heal
And to embrace
The innermost parts
Of the spirit one wants to please.
To love is to share
To bear one's spirit
And as naked, expect
To be clothed by another
Let me know what you think

Damn! now thats a love poem... you have me were i can't say aword. that don't happen much... nicly done
-
I agree with this one it its a really good poem
-
Love is to make vows and keep them... no matter what they make you.... sickness and in health.... richer and poorer...love is a four letter word the least understood between a man and a woman.

I think this was wonderful!
And that's it,
it was very well written,
good poem.
..Simply Me♥ -
wow!! u are an expert ma brother. Your work is so deep.
-
This poem is what love is. You are so good at finding the meaning to all different kinds of love and expressing them in a way that not many can. You have beat up and down the street on love poems.
-
this is beautiful, and yes- exactly how love should be. A great explanation, and a wonderful structure. very well-written!
a great piece, loved every line. awesome! -
Love is life. To nuture, care. It is what fills us to the core and gives us power. Excellent explanation!
-
this was really lovely!!!
-
great
this is a very meaningful wonderful piece. -
This is pretty good. I really like it. you did a wonderful job writing it! keep up your great work!
Crimson -
That explanes love very well. It reminds me of a quote I once read "The best things in life can not be touched or seen but felt with the heart"
-
I love this....you're exactly right....it's not just to be told but be seen by all senses of the way. ^_^ I love Love and love to love it. lol ^_^ Great job!
-
WOW, this poem was really amazing, as i'm sure you've heard before, lol. My favorite part was when you said "to love is to inspire, heal and to embrace" you really are a great poet on love. Keep up the awesome work!
Kandy -
This is a perfect piece of writing and should have been featured. Our love for others and ourselves should balance out somewhere. I think you've defined the point in a lovely manner. We love members of our community. It's a point of contact with humanity. Nice.
-
very lovely
To love is to inspire, heal
And to embrace
The innermost parts
Of the spirit one wants to please.
To love is to share
To bear one's spirit
And as naked, expect
To be clothed by another
wonderful sentiments indeed

BRAVO
This is a masterpiece from the chords of youre heart,very well orchestrated! LO-AMO SALUTE -
You have given this much thought and have come to admirable conclusions. Well versed emotion have the ability to inspire. Your sentiments have been well expressed here. Good work... Ithica
-
When I think of trying to explain love... I am at a loss for words... I imagine myself trying to explain it to aliens or something... and for me it is just impossible to really put into words... you did it quite well though.
-
I think the whole poem is in the last four lines. It speaks loudly just by itself. My favorite lines are the last four...
-
You have done a good job in writing your feel of explaining love. Everyone has their view, but we all can learn from others and their experience and view points. Yours is so caring, soft and so much of a true love, where one should care so much for the other that they know what to say and do for that person. You have done a great write, I did enjoy reading it
-
There is a great deal of wisdom and truth in this poem.
It seems very honest and heartfelt, and exactly how we should feel when we are in Love.

Gorgeous write
This is a gorgeous piece of writing my dear Love Poet. I loved every word of this one just like your other. I hope to see more writes from you in the near future. You are an extremely talented writer and it shines throughin every word you write. Well done once again my dear Love Poet.
Keep writing and I will keep reading
Love
Me

This is beautifully written Oneal, some brilliant wording and a fab choice of topic - my favourite
keep your pen handy! xx
PP -
Another great poem. Very beautiful. I love your word choice and how you explain love and life. Those two things are so hard to explain.
-
Once again, a deep and inspiring poem! You speak truth here, where I find it hard for someone to constantly say 'I love you', whether they mean it or not. The words are but half of the expression of what Love truly is, and it must be shown with tender delicacy! You've explained that perfectly well here!

This was really good i loved it.. awsome job
Laters
Loves..*hugs* ♥ -
This is very beautiful and very true. I am amazed. I'm not really sure what to say about it, as writer comments. You obviously have great talent and great thought. I love this piece.
-
Beatiful sentiments. Love is love...my favorite part:
To love is not to be broke
Or be a slave to another,
To love is to inspire, heal
And to embrace
The innermost parts
Of the spirit one wants to please.
Wonderful writing. Most important, in order to give love to another, we have to find that innermost love for ourselves...when we find that, all of this follows naturally.
Write on!!
~B.
-
wwo... this is really deep... very thought-provoking... i loved the last two lines... great ending, in my opinion!!! i loved this! keep it up!

Another Good piece. Keep it up!

So true!
The ultimate love, to put the other person's needs before your own, but not be a slave is a real balancing act.

wow I really love this poem very beautifully put.... my favorite part is... it really touched my heart...
To love is to share
To bear one's spirit
And as naked, expect
To be clothed by another
-
Beautiful!!
I love it...and I agree whole heartedly...
-
wow. that is great. and so true. i think this is a great write.
-
This is very good. I see you are quite popular. Good job : ]
-
Wow. Well said. It couldn't have been described in a more truthful or beautiful way.
-
Wow
Ok this is very good. It puts to words all the things that I feel about love and what it should be. It brings to life all the things love will become/should become. A love like this would be one that was beyond outstanding. A love like this is what I am so desperately searching for.
Very good poem. I really adore this.

-
Pretty good poem. I like how its about give and take, which I think explains love and life very well. You have to be willing to give it all and in turn take in what is offered to you. Flow was ok, keep up the great work!
-
wow
this pome was simply incredible! You took a topic that not mny people can even understand and molded it into a perfectly poetic reasoning that hopefully people are able to understand.
Not many poets can do this; it takes someone who first understands something about the topic they're writing about than is able to use they're own past experience however dark and demonic it is and change it into words of wisdom and beauty. wonderful job!
-
i think you did great explaining the inexplainable. the use of didderent analogies enables me to picture certain senarios in my mind. i completely agree that love should be all these things, but it rarely is...i'm sad to say. i love this poem...do you mind if i glue a copy in my scrap book??
-
This poem was beautiful...it gives you this feeling like you understand what you're saying. I must say you have a lot of talent. Excellent job
-
I love this poem not many ppl agree that u must first explain life to explain love
-
wow
reall good..i love your poems..don't ever stop keep it up..
your friend
nichole -
Lovely!!
Actually, I love someone like this.
I am not in love with him, but I simply LOVE him! He is precious and delightful and how can anybody help loving someone like that? It is a joyful kind of love that has nothing physical about it in the least. 
-
This one too. I'm just in awe after reading your poems. Seriously, they are incredible.
"To love is to inspire, heal
And to embrace
The innermost parts
Of the spirit one wants to please."
Loved those lines. Your words speak so much truth, it's crazy!
I also loved how you started this by explaining life && then you ended it with speaking of love.
ANOTHER great write=] You definitely need to put some other poems on here.
-
Not constanly told and clothed by the other surely the most truest form of love.........very nicely written. My kind of love.
-
oh!! I love this one. It is so true. Action must speak louder then words. for love it it the same quote. sometimes just saying I love you isn't enough.
-
Beautiful poem

This is a beautiful write, and shows how even though it's short and sweet, it gives so much depth and meaning to it. I agree that life has everything to do with love, and love truly is to be inspiring and healing, like you mentioned in your poem. That was my fav. line "To love is to inspire, heal
And to embrace
The innermost parts
Of the spirit one wants to please" I share similar viewpoints on life and love. Very well compelled poem!

this is really good. i enjoy the way you share your views on love and life. i especially liked the lines:
"Love must be seen, felt

they make me think about love in different views.
~!keep writing!~

Mmmm love is many different things, i love how u describe it in this poem. Well done.

This seems like something you would find in a bible
Its absolutely brilliant
Kudos
-
Love must be seen, felt
Not constantly told
nothing more true then this line...you can say it as much as you want...and even if it were true at one time, if you do no show your love...they will begin to question the truthfulness in your words...no matter h ow good the intention.
This entire piece definately holds elements of truth, maybe for some all of it, for others, bits and pieces of it. no matter how you look at it, it is relatable or for someone who doesnt realize the impact, maybe opens their eyes.
the thoughts you express are beautifully written
now, when do i get to read more???
-
this is amazing. I really enjoyed reading it. great write.
-
nice!
this poem is nice.
i like the part:
'To love is to inspire, heal
And to embrace'
it is extreamly well placed and penned, and the poem on a whole is written with upmost care and attention.
i like the emotion in it, to!
well done on an exellent write!

Welcome to AP a bit late - nice to see you reading, commenting, writing and being active on this site. Love comes in so many forms and kinds and it is nice to read your idea of this subject in these lines - easy to read and understand what you are saying in this poem - nice flow as well.
-
hmmmm
People have many ideas on love but you say it more to the heart than any other person I know. Take hold of your dreams follow them and you will see that your understanding of love will brighten the days of many men and childeren who are about to come.
-
great poem, keep up the great work.

Love that emotions which drives us in life the many forms it presents to us and to others....it should never enslave or dictate it should just be given freely because someone has made an impact on our life. I do believe in telling people that I care because I do and they have impacted on my life in some way....dont leave it till it is too late and if my telling someone how i feel toward them lifts their day even better.....because I know i have made some feel that little bit special and appreciated and respected. Brilliant message you have penned within your lines and one we should all take the time to ponder and share our feelings with one another....when someone holds your heart in their hands you know the difference between loving and being in love I am putting this up for rewards.....hope you dont mind
-
Another magival poem from your pen. The last line is stellar. Great hob and keep up the good work!!
Luv,
Candy
-
This is a great description of love! "To love is not to be broke/Or be a slave to another" I like that line because many people forget that. But seriously, it was a really great write!
-
Very vivid and beautiful poem, though stark contrast to my quite morbid and pessimistic philosophies on love. Nicely written, much like a proverb in many ways. Keep up the great writing, poet!
-
Beautiful poem with a wonderful message. I like the parts of inspire, heal and embrace the best. To me, that's what love should be about. Accepting other people for who they are. Keep up the great work.
-
This is beautiful and a wonderful poem of what true love really is. You have described it so well with so much feeling. It was a great poem to read.
-
This poem is wonderful... the essence of love is well preserved in these lines... Keep it up...
-
speechless
This poem has left me completely speechless...the way you capture the meaning of love is so wonderful and amazing....keep up the great work
-
Love must be seen, felt
Not constantly told
the things i'm lackin that's why i end up always being alone...
well expressed
made me understand fully what love is all about
thank you for sharing
good luck in everything that you do
-
oh. my. goodness....that is SO TRUE!!! To explain love would be to explain life...and you did well, for all that both things are inexplicable...
"To love is to share
To bear one's spirit
And as naked, expect
To be clothed by another" very well put
-
nice poem, thanks for sharing
-
wow. that is so true. It's always hard to put the right words on what love it, but you really put it out there. Defining love.
One thing though. In this line:
"Not constantl told"
Do you mean constant or constantly? Something should be edited...
-

Love is about two people coexisting in one life. About sharing in each others joy, and pain. About being able to be there no matter what. Well done
