Illusion of love

Sometime we want what we cannot have.

                           Illusion of love

I held you so tightly. We found paradise by the midnight moon.
I was seeing forever and you were just entangled in the raging storm.

I whispered I love you with all my heart.

Your eyes turned sad and you told me. Love is just a illusion. A surreal dream for the lucky. We cannot outlast the shadows and mirrors of time. Love is just paper and can be shattered like glass. Dear Poet. The illusion of love will perish with time. Best find something made out of rock and cement to hold on to and grasp. I'm caving into too much need and want, never content."

Her words were true. She was like the sea. Could not be controlled or be held down forever. I held her closely.

I knew.  Love is rare and for the lucky.

Oh, I wish I didn't understand her saying so well. It's like I'm reading my very own words.
But I believe you love is different from that. I can tell it's made of rock and cement.
Whatever the truth is, I'm glad for this illusion, for it has blessed art so many times.

Real love is rare. We open up our selves rarely in a life. Thank you for reading and the comment.

For most people words are not enough, they want something tangible to hold on to. Valentine

Beautiful. I can't really say much other than that, but reading this reminded me of a couple of people that I couldn't tie down so I watched grow. Lovely poem.

Coyote, this is a beautiful love poem and I really like it. I understand this even in a little different way. My love is of a different culture where for years marriages were arranged. Because of this the word "Love" is not something she is truly able to grasp, but as I continue to show her I love her she is learning more and understanding what it means. Thank you for sharing this great work.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree and Thank you Willard. Love is proven and strengthen with time.
