Love Lasts Longer
Laughter lifts lowness
Love, longing, like, lust, loss,
Literally life lived,
Long live love, long live life,
Let’s learn love’s lovely languages.
***
Less lamenting losses,
Letting laughter lighten life,
Like last laughs, laugh louder,
Live longer, live leisurely.
***
Listen lovingly, learning life’s lessons,
Let lopsided lewdness lose,
Leaking lies less likely,
Love lives longer luckily.
***
Loneliness leaves longing laments,
Lasting lengthy limits,
Lyrical language luxurious lessening,
Letting life linger lovingly.
***
Lumping lovers leftovers,
Least lying lightens loads lingering,
Lastly, life lays loose lessons,
Letting learning liken lower.
***
Lust, lost love, lessening laughter,
Less life, less light,
Let loose, lighten lacerations,
Leniency let’s love lighten life.
***
Liken limiting loftiness,
Longing less likely lynched,
Love likewise lulls lugubriosity,
Lifting low levels lastingly.
***
Let love linger,
Learn loss lessens,
Laugh louder,
Lively living longingly, lasting lovingly.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Wow. That was great. Well done.
Oh my goodness. My friend. My kindred spirit. I'm at a loss for words. If impressed and amazed was an understatement to how I felt after reading your W Tautogram, I don't even know how to begin to describe how I feel for your L Tautogram I feel like you've created history. God I feel so frustrated now because I can't properly tell you how much I love this! But please know that I'm like super duper extremely magnificently enchanted by your fantastic brilliant excellent Tautogram! These are a few lines that are my favourite: Let’s learn love’s lovely languages. Lyrical language luxurious lessening, Lust, lost love, lessening laughter,
