Love is so Confusticating
.
I want a recipe for love
To help me to know
Is it love or is it lust
That makes my heart glow.
Why does my heart beat fast
When you’re near?
Is it an illusion or truth?
Can it be wound up tight
Fit to burst with the strain
And the pain?
I need to decide:
Infatuation or fascination
That makes me fly
When the wind at my back
Lifts me high in the sky?

Ah Adee…..a good question.
I reckon when your man is your best friend that is the answer.
I agree, Gran. I must make more friends then… not so easy at our age, lol, to find unattached suitable friends… who are still breathing!
That is infatuation..love is feeling as one, relaxed and happy, content and secure, but I loved your poem
You and Gran know the answer, yay, and you are right! Thanks for liking the poem. Btw, it was written very tongue-in-cheek!
Many confuse Love and Lust. The poem made me smile, Denise.
Yes, they do, Nancy. Glad it made you smile!
Love and wisdom intermingled: a powerful brew! Quaff away!
Quaff: to drink (a beverage) copiously and heartily.
Thanks, Ben. I was probably quaffing long before you, but now I’ve learnt to sip in a ladylike fashion, lol!
Ladylike: a quality I’m afraid I shall never attain in this lifetime.
Well, I must say that’s a relief!
I’m very familiar with lust, infatuation and fascination, Denise, but love evades me for some reason. Maybe I’m looking too hard for it (or not at all…).
Yes, a good question!
Ditto, Tom! I often wonder if I just passed it by without knowing…
could be a kinda scary answer…smiles….i wouldlike to think i could look through infatuation but…
Not always easy to tell, until it’s too late, Brian.
That, to quote a Danish Prince, is the question. And sometimes only time will tell…lovely poem
Thank you, Kate! It is indeed the question…
I say, no matter – enjoy the moment!
That’s what I did, Bb. Very enjoyable, but in the end it leaves one with a hollow feeling.
It’s so long ago, Denise. But I remember waiting about ten years before I found a wonderful partner and wife – except that she found me!
I agree with granny1947 that friendship is the core of it.
John
Well, it seems to be unanimous, John, and my heart tells me you’re right too! So, the question is settled… hmm, but who’s to say no to a little fun on the way, as long as it’s not taken seriously and no one gets hurt (ooh, no guarantees there, so I don’t think so)…
I agree about “not taking seriously” – that is almost impossible, because one or other always gets well bitten!
John
You’re so right, John! One thing I have learnt in my life is that you don’t play with people’s feelings.
‘confusticating’ – bwhahahahahaha
good one adeeyoyo
I knew I would get a chance to use that word, Gabe!
