Love Ala Carte

Love Ala Carte

You can search, for love to find you
Checking it out... far and wide
But there is.... no truer love
Than yours....the one inside.

Find it in your favorite book
A cozy blanket, or a warming fire
A puppy dog's inquisitive look
In your heart and desire

In a baby's eyes
and in a 's laughter
With their souls.... on loan
for you to look after.

In the sorrow of a friend
that giving a hug can cure
And getting one back
A friendship that's pure

To know about love
doesn't require heartbreaks
Discovering mistakes of love
doesn't define, what it takes

Love doesn't require dues
It's free magic from inside
That sees all the colors and hues
giving lies no place to hide

So.... look into the mirror
the mirror of your heart
To see if love can flourish
Finding it Ala Carte.

I'd like to apologize to my French Canadian friends for my "bad" French
For the people who JUST speak French.. I really don't give a shit.. You can't read it anyway.. may you be put in a slow boiling pot......also please excuse my general cussing....It's just..... cuisses de grenouille.

I just needed to remind myself..

That others can't define me...
Can't control MY love, unless i allow them too..

It's been awhile since I stood outside, breathe in the air.. and knew how special it was to be alive.. the world may turn....but in that moment I can make it stop.

It's my finding.... Love Ala Carte....

Lovely (& funny) poem... may I please correct you in one area?
It's 'À la carte' not 'ala'... hope you don't mind but I hate to see a language crucified (lol)!!

thanks for reading it

Lovely and funny? That's sounds funny to me... It wasn't meant to be funny. but to each his/her own..People have a right to different view..It's says a lot about how they describe it...In the world of meanings and words.... hope you don't mind....that I can crucify the words.. but then again... you can crucify the meanings..

I apologize for my "faux pas"...

Did what you have to say, be said to "faire des amis"? or is my amiss, just not fair to you.......
It's seems that with my mistakes........."Laissez faire" is not the word of the day.
some people choose to be pointed by their own laser fair...but then again.. all's "fare" in LOVE and war...

LOL good points Jiminy.... it is 'faire des amis' & 'Laissez faire'! Please dont apologize for the faux pas... anyone can make them, but of course it would catch my eye immediately.
