The Living Statue

A ballad of a lover who stood aside on the pedestal waiting fot true love missing out on opportunities, A story about many of us who are still searching in vain

And here she goes

Like a swirling charm

Making us sway to her spell

But I stand like a rock

Anosmic

She glided along like a dancer

I was glued to her mystic moves

But I stood like her majestys guard.

Coz something was wrong

As though something foretold

And I stood along

In rain and storm

Guarding my poor old heart.

 

He who loves is a fool

I said

Coz he will never know Pain and gain

The Pain of loving is so intense

That even death will feel its sway

Oh! Yes I loved

But I don’t care

Coz I am above all dis now

Coz pain and gain had lost its glory

When destiny came in my way

 

I dream of a land

Where love is the only truth

Where you cared for me and I cared

For you.

And thus I stood 

Just looking at you.

Your poetry has the sound of one who has loved and lost.A very interesting write

Waiting for the "right one" to come along, too many people miss opportunities for love and friendship.
"I dream of a land
Where love is the only truth" a bit Utopian, but certainly a lovely thought. Indeed, love will cause pain, but the pain is worth it if the love is real. Very emotive write. I liked it. Lydi**
