Can'T Love Be With Me For Once

Can't Love be with me for once in my life. Can't Love for once in my life see the way I live and accept me for who I am and not for what I possess. I have seen love bounce back and forth through the darkened streets of life and I sat on the park benches, alone. I can't wait till love comes again but can't love just be with me for once and live with me, embrace me, to see me late at night, come through the doors of perception. Can't Love be with me for once throughout the valleys of sorrow and depression and shine its glorious face onto me, like the first morning rays of the sun at dawn. I cannot understand, why Love can't just be with me for once... Why? I ask you, why? Can't Love just laugh, and talk to me Can't the arrow of Cupid find me already. I have found my time, now I have no love. The beauty of Plato's words that melt of the page as you read word for word, and my heart melts away. Why can't love just be with me for once, once in a great, blue moon. Too walk through the dew sprinkled, dawn days in August as I walk to my chamber and ready to love, but love can't be found. Can't love just come already. Show its pretty face, Hold my hand, kiss me and I kiss back, to read a book of poetry to her as she lays in my arms, and then we shall make love under the twilight. The stars shall shine the moon shall be bright and full and I shall find love one day. One lonely day, as I sit in the wayward cafe drinking my sorrows away, writing my poetry and love shall walk through that door I shall find her and take her by the hand and kiss her upon her soft cheek. I just ask, Why can't love just be with me for once.

Chris this is awesome. The question of love and why we can't find it haunts us all sometimes. The imagery and romantic lines make the reader feel your emotion and sadness. Any girl would be happy to hear what you put from the lines "hand my hand" till the end of the poem. Great job
