On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Beforeword: This is week 4 of the series on eros/romantic love. We started with “love beginning”, then on to “love from two sides”, “love don’t die easy” and concluding the series with “love affirmation”.

Love is never done or lost

Protected, it will survive at all cost

From the highest height, to the deepest depth

Love grows in affirmation step by faithful step

***

One.

Release expectations, just let love flow

Two.

Criticism and judgment, you must forego

Three.

Love you, fully, let doubts and fears leave

Four.

Hold, not to control but with space to receive

Five.

Find space in your heart to just be—in love

When love needs affirmation, start from above

***

Repeat steps one through three

That’s when you’ll see

If ever you believe that love is done

That’s when you’ll start again at one

***

Release expectations, just let love flow

Criticism and judgment, you must forego

Love you, fully, let doubts and fears leave

Hold, not to control but with space to receive

If ever you believe that love is done

That’s when you’ll start again at one

After word: You know that moment when you’re in your feelings, and the right song starts playing on the radio?! One of my go to love crooners is the indomitable-musical-genius, Brian McKnight. So, it’s no wonder his chart-hitting “Back At One” influenced this R&B collab. Take a listen and you’ll agree he’s one of love poetry greats!
