No Favours.

IMG-20230106-WA0012.jpg


You are not doing anyone favours by loving them
Love is what we give because of who we are meant to be
Love is not to be kept but to be spread around like fragrance
Most people keep it to themselves alone and they constitute nuisance
Taking you to a new realm and height, I see love like a trance
Capable of helping you grow as you maintain your balance
You give as much as you have received, it's like a dance
Moving your body to the rhythm of the music and each song determines each step
But sometimes, it's harder to love those who make it harder to love them
But isn't that what love is about? Loving those who are deemed unloveable?
Finding that space to love even when it's deemed hard?
There is a difference between hard and impossible but most people miss it
Love isn't love when loving someone comes so easy
Love is only made perfect when it's put to work
I didn't say it must be easy but how do you know the extent of your love when unstretched?
You are doing yourself as much favour when you love someone
You are not doing anyone favours by loving them
Because when you keep so much bitterness in your heart
It's a slippery slope for anyone to self destruct here on earth
The hate in your heart would consume you
Like a big abandoned house filled with dirt
Love is not meant to be kept but to be given - give as much as you have received too

Thank you for your time.


My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Love makes the world go round, if you don't love yourself you can't give out love. So people should learn to love themselves first before trying to love someone else.

Love is a beautiful feeling.

Love is a beautiful feeling that no one can deny. It is borne out of loving oneself which helps to make it easier to love others. You can't love others when you lack love for yourself. This is so true. Thanks a lot for this.

It's true. You can't give out what you don't have which explains why the world is the way it is. Most people don't love themselves, so it's harder to love others.

Correct. You can't give what you don't have. Love is deeper than what most people think and it starts with you. Thank you.

So many truths in this poem. You do yourself the favour and not the other way round when you love people. Hate is so much powerful and that's why those who carry it feel the burden of it. It's a self destructive tool which many don't know yet.

That's why they say it's a powerful weapon because it's capable of hurting and more so, hurting those who carry it too deep within them. It's not easy to love but love is love and love won't be love if it was that easy to love.

That is what love is all about and that's what gives meaning to love when it's not easy. Thank you for blessing us with such deeper truth.

That's when love is put to test and most needed. When it's not easy to love and that's why it's called love. Thank you.

One love keep us together and even the Bible says love your neighbor as yourself so why keeping the love to yourself?
Love is meant to be spread and not to be kept in you

It should be spread. It's put to work when we love those we even think don't deserve it. Love isn't to be kept but to be shared. Thanks a lot, boo boo.

Love is beautiful but should be reciprocated. So many truths in a few lines.

That's the beauty of love... reciprocity. Love is such a beautiful thing that no one can ever deny no matter how it is conceived.

Life and people made it difficult to even show a bit of emotion but we don't have to forget that we are humans and we are meant to show it... especially love.

Thank you so much.

Love is what moves the world, the most important love is that of oneself and there are many ways to express it or show it to all people, either with a gesture, a reminder, a poem, a dance, that does not remain in us nothing else, because in the end love with love is paid ♥ Thanks for this writing friend ☺
