Love Unfound

A Poem by Dave W.

Love is elusive and always out of reach....

Love where have you gone.

I have searched in a desolate land,

I took hold of love but it slipped through my fingers, a mirage of the heart.

I settled in the valley, in hopes that love was there, emptiness and void where my only companions,

I walked through the graveyard of memory, the headstones were blank,

love eludes and vanishes,

O love why do you mock, why are you cruel.

I have thirsted for love’s crimson wine.

I burn from love and am chilled by its absence.

Love is my breath, love slays me, love suffocates.

When will love’s hunger be satisfied,

When will love be fulfilled.

I Quixotically search until death consumes my flesh,

love is unfound.

ETERNITY

It's obvious we will never meet
But we have this all
You complete me
Love is just a word
I have been at your beck and call
Since I broke away from the herd
We've been through a lot, you and I
I've loved you as many as it took to get through
And will till I die
Please don't reply and make this seem like a cheap lure from me.
I already know you. We don't need flimsy chatter back and forth.
This will be my 'seulement un commentaire' via this subject...I just wanted you to know.
This, your writing inspired all that. See? You re great.

Love often arrives unexpectedly. Can't be forced or even prompted. It is one of Life's most beautiful gifts and whilst it could be bought or bribed - it only remains where it knows it belongs in someone's safe arms

Your poem suggests willing and wanting.. it will come, when ready to do so. Believe it.
