Love holds me

Hooray! – it’s National Poetry Day :-)

… not only that – it’s the 25th Anniversary of NPD :-))
 
And this year’s theme is truth – and an anthology of wonderful poems, entitled ‘Tell Me the Truth About Life’ can be found here.
 
I’m eternally grateful that a truth in my own life, is that love holds me – in every possible, positive sense …
 
… so, here is some Rupi Kaur, taken from her *quite compelling* 2015 collection, Milk and Honey:


love will come
 
love will come
and when love comes
love will hold you
love will call your name
and you will melt
sometimes though
love will hurt you but
love will never mean to
love will play no games
cause love knows life
has been hard enough already
