Love Poems by rebekahELLE

"Sometimes we just need to go sit outdoors and listen closely to heaven... above us, around us, within us. " rebekah
I have written my entire life. I have journals, old notebooks, computer files, torn slips of paper with inspiration, poetic utterances scribbled quickly, so as not to forget. I remember one of my first poems written while a young girl. It was titled, "The Horse That Jumped Over The Rainbow." I always knew I wanted to write, and as I grew older, I imagined what it meant to be in love. Was it kind of like the love in fairy tales?
What is love? So many definitions, so many feelings, so many songs and poems are penned, describing this mysterious, elusive, overwhelming, dark, radiant, effusive energy we call love. I share with you two of my poems about love. The first is written as three short, separate poems packaged together as Love, Gift Divine. The second is deeper, asking the reader to ponder the measureless dimensions of love, and its greater purpose in this grand circle of life. Surely, something as enduring as love never dies, so, Where Does Love Go When You Let It Go?
Loves First Breath...
Love, Gift Divine
Love's first breath
his touch doth bring,
to lift the veil
and
open my world
to a perfect ray of dawn.
It's gentle light
whispers love, gift divine.
Tenderness so soft as the perfect sapling,
pure and sweet to my taste.
Eyes like dark planets,
I become lost in their passion
in this language of love with no words.
Its seed lands gracefully
to sprout and take root
in my deepest heart,
ever growing this eternal blossom
which brings such beauty to my world.
Only one thought of you
brings stillness to my soul.
Your love doth fill my cup,
and runs down my hand
to touch my heart with
this gift of you.

Love...
Where Does Love Go When You Let It Go?
This love that we breathed
and let flow through our veins,
does it now fall from the heavens
as
a pure drop of rain?
Oh, where does it go when you let it
go…
Does it fall upon a blade of grass
and
spring up as the lovely flower of June?
Does it fill the song of a bird
singing
softly in the night?
Dare I should turn around
and
expect to catch the last setting shades of the
sun?
Echoes heard in the
Aegean Sea,
rippled currents
calling again
and
again
his name.

I enjoyed, right in the heart of "Love, Gift Divine" the seed landing graceful in your deepest heart after having mentioned "eyes like dark planets". Very cool imagery and elegant delivery. I write a lot about love and I enjoyed this Hub immensely.
"Where does Love Go When It Goes" made me think about something I'd never thought of before. And that's what it should do. Right? Voted up and beautiful.
Lovely poems. I especially love this:
"Does it fall upon a blade of grass
and
spring up as the lovely flower of June?
Enjoyed it and thanks.
Thanks sofs for taking the time to read some of my poetry.
I always feel like people may know me better after reading, some poems have a way of expressing a deep part of who we are. I'm glad you enjoyed. See you around HP!
Beautiful.. soul stirring verse Rebekah :) I am glad to have visited you, hope to know you better :)
I really enjoyed your poetry. Beautiful and touching thanks for sharing with us. Voted up. Beautiful.
Sweet wishes Rhonda

Have you noticed how certain word clusters improve over time? Second time round.. they have matured like a good wine.... now.. where did that hangover come from?

thank you Daniel for such a nice comment.. nice that it reminds you of Whitman. I'm flattered!
susan, I understand. thank for reading, I appreciate your comment. :]
Where does love go when you let it go, was my fav here. For me its personal ;) beautiful expressions of love. Thank you.
RebekahELLE,
These are great verses. My favorite lines were:
"does it fall upon a blade of grass
and
spring up as the lovely flower of June?"
It reminds me of a Walt Whitman ode to love.
Personally, I believe our love goes to God. I believe He (or She) remembers everything. When we die to join the "collective," (as it were), I think the divine language will be love. There'll be no air to carry words. We'll simply feel and communicate infinitely in such a short and long duration of time that it's eternal.
Thanks for sharing,
Dan
thank you adrienne. I guess I thought it might apply to your forum post. thank you for reading.
@Nellieanna, thank you! it's all around us, somehow, somewhere, I believe.
I'm especially fond of "where does love go when you let it go" - lovely!
So glad you mentioned this hub in the forum. What a beautiful piece of poetry. Wonderful writing you are wonderfully talented.
thank you moon dancer. happy to see you here. glad you enjoyed my poetry. I don't have much of my poetry here, just a few. thanks for reading. :]
I love your poems. Shall be fun to read all your other hubs :)
thank you seraphim. I appreciate your compliment!
Your writings are beautiful ^_^
ohhh, I love that and how true, I am sure. I think poets recognize each other in their words, their manner... thanks so much for your coming by and reading and leaving such nice comments, I do appreciate them very much.
glad to see you around hubville again. {{hugs}}
Hmmm, how did I know you were a poetess? I knew you were somehow and these are really nice. Where does love go when you let it go? It perches in the piney woods and the zephyr sings it back to me on a calm evening in June. Much love and peace. CC xox
thanks you sherbert for your kind words. I'm thrilled to be able to share them here and so happy to know you enjoyed them.
@samboiam, thank you! that's quite a compliment. while writing poetry, I don't often think of the reader, so it's heart warming to know others really enjoy these poems. you're very kind. :)
rebekahELLE, these are wonderful. The intensity of your poetry is exhilarating. Love, gift divine, is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
Great writing again, love your style. A lot of passion and emotion in these pieces. Stephen.
thank you moulik and sophs for stopping in and reading and leaving such nice comments! it's always nice to know the words have touched others, thank you. :)
Love them! These are beautiful and brilliantly written rebekah, you're a great writer :)
Who does not love love poems? I too love them. Excellent piece of writings, very well done...
lol, I don't remember if I was facing the wind. yes, Rob, the poem is to question and ask and ponder. I believe everything is connected. life, love is a journey. nothing ends. thanks so much for sharing, always nice to see you. :)
Where does love go when you let it go? Were you facing into the wind at the time Rebekah? Do we really let go or do we cover it in other emotions, so as not to see why we let go? LOve meant to stay will never go. Nice poems Rebekah, thank you for sharing them. Take Care.
now this IS a compliment! when I have caused a man to smile at 6:30 a.m. on a saturday from reading love poems, that is quite an accomplishment and also says a lot about the kind of man you are. thanks so much!
Smiling at this early hour. This is beautiful writing.

thank you alek, veronica and tatjana for your beautiful comments. I am happy the poems have touched you and tatjana, I hope the tears are of loves' emotion. {{hugs}}
Beautiful, I have tears in my eyes ...Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful. Love is such a strong emotion, that very few people are able to really define it in words. You've done a beautiful job here.
I love the title of the last poem: "Where does love go when you let it go?" Certainly is something worth pondering. Thanks for the lovely poetry.
thank you seasoning and tantrum for your comments. love to see the fellow poets dropping in and reading! {{hugs}}
Very touching ! I liked them. Cheers ! :)
lovely i really enjoyed that
thank you sharon!! so happy to see you here at HP. and thanks for the compliment~~ what would we do without it, this thing called love? :]
How beautifully and perfectly you have captures this 'elusive' thing. BRAVO, REBEKAH!

Claire de lune by Claude Debussy
hardly expressed 4 months ago
never imagined that love could prevent you from somethings that you like to do only for your lover
it strongly based on respect
