Ella Fitzgerald - What Is This Thing Called Love? (HQ sound lyrics)
what is this thing called love?
a mystery
best kept at the superficial level
of romantic love roses and wine
not recommended for those
diving deep
a low pain threshold
can have you floundering
at the bottom of the ocean
real connection to another
is a dangerous business
what is this thing called love?
a great feeling of alleviation...a weight lifted
comfort and sweet joy
YES
a tray of fresh orange juice ice blocks
when suffering a heat stroke
Midweek Motif Poets United "LOVE"

Love is not a thing for one with a low pain threshold... Well spoken.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, some might better not brave the deep dive. "Alleviation" is only the icing, not too nourishing. But I like that it is part of the whole cake.
ReplyDeleteGood question
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Gorgeously penned!!!❤️
ReplyDeleteI am struck by the same lines as Kerry....which is why I fly solo, lol.
ReplyDeleteI liked the observation "the superficial level
ReplyDeleteof romantic love roses and wine"
Sadly you can't have love without pain as well, even so it is well worth it.
ReplyDeleteExtremes = but a great song and question
ReplyDeleteYes, we do have to build up a threshold for pain. Beautiful writing!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it is many things. Romanticism over-simplifies.
ReplyDeleteOnce drowned, how can you flounder? Good question.
ReplyDeletediving deep brings pearls of wisdom in either way....
ReplyDeleteI would like to think roses and wine can come also with love seasoned by time. Beautifully written, however.
