A Woman Who Loves
Ask her … why she is who she is?
Ask her … how she feels …
about you?
Ask her … why she loves you?
Ask her … will she always love you?
And ask her … why!
If she tells you …
there will be no moonsong without you in her night time.
If she tells you …
there will be no sunshine to light up her day without you.
If she tells you
… you are an aspect of her being
as essential as her beating heart
her reason
her purpose
her reality
… of existence
that the thought of ‘no you’
is equivalent
to an emptiness of being.
Your questions have been answered!
Can she ask you the same?
And can you answer?

The Why About This 
This is likened to the love Godt has for his children. 🙂
Yes Celestine, my dear friend. Exactly so! 🙂
Wonderful words of wisdom!
Thanks, dear friend of mine! xx
Can you answer….<3
Captured the essence of first falling in love here. Wonderful.
HI Lesley, thank you! Have an excellent weekend my friend! xx
[ Smiles ] A rather lovely poem, Penny!
Thank you Renard, I hope you are having a pleasant week my friend!
[ Smiles ] So far, so good!
Excellent!
Love the turn around with the final line, there are some challenging questions there, well at least for the less introspective of your readers…I possibly include myself in that, although to get a definitive answer on that i would have to introspect….
Wow SteJ, talk about a verbal loop, lol!!!
Just reread what I put, sometimes I give myself a headache with trying to work out what I’m talking about.
Sensitive exploration of the depths of love–nicely done, Penny.
Thank you, so much!
So beautifully expressed and may have many pondering. 🙂
Thank you LuAnn, I’m thinking “yes” to your thoughts on the many who may ponder! 🙂
This is beautiful Penny. I love it.
Thank you Alastair! 🙂
You’re welcome my friend
Lovely
Thank you, very much!
AnElephantCant answer these questions
He doesn’t know about this sort of stuff
He is not very bright
Can’t tell day from night
And clearly understands nothing about love
Hmmmm. Just read your last post, so I’m having trouble correlating this rhyme, perhaps I’m missing something. Appears to be a dichotomy going on! He is … utterly enthralled
Because he sees with his soul
To him beauty is in the smile of each person he loves …
So I admit to being confused. Unless of course the word “love” is being used subjectively, in an illusory manner. Which is of course the safest way to look at love. 🙂 xo
AnElephantCant believe Penny is confused
That is more his own quotidian state
Though he sees with his soul
His heart is outwith his control
And he has no idea what will be his fate
Really liked this, it bears reading several times to get the impact. Nice work.
Hi Sandra. Thank you, so very much. It was a bit of a thinker (at least I thought about it for quite a bit, lol, before I wrote it) I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Yes I can answer… probably better than I can ask…
I believe you Bulldog! xx
“no you” — beautiful Penny – it’s this empty space that really allows us to see another I think… and to love another … so your final question is key, to be welcome to ask these same questions in return … yes. I loved this my friend ~ x Robyn
Hello Robyn. Thank you! There is love within love I believe, and as long as each layer has a transparency the riches of love between two people, grows and all questions are answerable … lovingly so dearest friend of mine! xo
This is the love I have for the Beloved One. The One who intoxicates me with the wine of his love and devotion. The One who is within me and connects me with all others. In peaceful harmony, Barbara
His love to cherish indeed. To be at peace and loved unconditionally, a harmony indeed, you are blessed Barbara!
Oh – good questions…especially when it’s back at him.
I would hope that the feelings & answers are mutual.
xx 🙂 🙂 xx
Wouldn’t that be heavenly though, RoSy! 🙂 xo
Well written Penny. I like the final question.
Thank you Michael, sometimes the simple questions are the most tough to answer – honestly! xx
