Love is a perfect note; love is a certain smile, or a gentle touch.
It is the dripping juiciness of ripe mangos on a parched tongue
or the smoothness of rippling silk as it touches your skin,
or perhaps the sweetest strawberry dipped in liquid chocolate?
Love could be the aroma of double espresso just before it reaches your lips,
or is it the woody smell of a newly lit fire?
All is love…
Love is also the stormy greys of long worried nights,
love is restless broken sleep that drains energy from your soul
love is eyes heavy from sadness,
But love is also the ashen face that looks at you when days are bad and you are brave.
Love is you, starting the fight once more as realisation arrives in your eyes.
Love is also the beautiful eyes of family members whose tender glances record their own story.
Love is the strong arms that support and guide your way.
Love is the dearest child who stokes your hair with such beautiful little hands.
Love is our private moments that make difficult days better,
love is that look across the room that says it all.
Love is all these things…
And all these things are love,
and you.

I adore this verse Susie, so rightly posted as it is almost Valentines Day. However it suits each lovely hug, sunny day and sticky kiss from the kiddies. Baby burp on the shoulder; being rewarded by a special smile. The waters can be choppy, but hang on to the calm swell, even just sitting at the computer. Some moments we are all truly happy, this is one. x
I’m so glad you like “All Is Love” I thought it would be nice to post this for the romantic month. Lovely thoughts Janey X
Love to you, dear Susie. Wonderful prose for us all to contemplate. I realise my small troubles are laughable when I come over to visit your very special blog. Love, love, love…xa
Very nice poem Susie, our thoughts are with you as always, even more so at these difficult times.
“Lovely poem Susie, you’ve not lost any of your remarkable ability to enchant despite what you have to face up too…my admiration is yours! X
Susie I have just found your poem page there is only one thing to say ” beautiful ” you are a very talented lady .With so much time that goes by we loose touch with people and how they are doing . Sorry to here about Hamada and his health problems . Your poems must be such an inspiration to him .
Hi Susie, such lovely words and so true. You have a rare talent which so many try to capture but few succeed. Sorry to hear about Hamada’s illness but it is obvious by reading your stories that the strength comes from both of you to get through this horrible disease. Some people only realise how strong they are when they are faced with such difficult hurdles in life and you and Hamada are very very strong! Keep writing and sharing your thoughts, they are inspirational to others and touch people in ways you are probably not even aware of. Take care, Audrey x

When the days and nights are difficult, I only need to come to your pages for reassurance and strength. It helps immeasurably to read your words, Susie, and know that I am not alone in this struggle. We walk such a similar path … so many miles apart. Bless you, dear Susie.
