Do men love?

My hubby is away visiting some of his family , he just sent me this poem by Philip Larkin . He must b missing me cos he's not usually this romantic 😲 .

Your poem is very sad 🙁 I hope u have recovered fully from this ❤️ .

Here is a poem I wrote on love:

I tried to shield this heart from love
To spare myself the pain
Forlorn indeed I fell
And this endeavor wrought my shame

Because I could not face the depth
Of feelings you inspired
I ran away
How could I know
I'd burn in hell's vile fire?

I tried to pick the pieces up
. Abysmal
. . . Broken
. .. . . Charred
A semblance of normality
I worked for very hard

Thusly mired I struggled
Both to end and attain flight
Striving to excise the wound
And cease my despaired plight

But always irrevocably
Your image came to bear
My being strained to fill the void
With love I could not share

Ever present buried deep
Within my tortured soul
My love lay pining hidden from
A world which seemed so cold

How could I have so erred in life
To plainly lose my way
Ignoring my emotive will
Keeping my self at bay

By thinking I'd be happy
In fulfilling others' hearts
Relentless death crept on me
And eclipsed my vital spark

I cried...

❤️ The Lord sure pictures his mercy in so many ways dear sister. You have also picked up a brother in time of need. That will not be forgotten.

40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25
