Elusive Love

Why can't it be found Love! Stop eluding me. Love is giving, caring, kind, patient, selfless...but why is it so elusive? Am I not giving enough? Caring enough? Am I not kind enough? Patient enough? Do I not live a selfless life? How much should one compromise? How much does one sacrifice How much more pain should one endure Before it is said that love is found? Where does one look for love? And in whom will love be found? How does one determine when love is truly found? How worthy am I, How worthy are you, to be loved? Can this thing called L O V E be found?

Powerful here Karen. I think most of us usually are questioning the existence of this entity

We most certainly do. Often when we think we are in love and we have found the one we would spend the rest of our lives with...we are disappointed...that's how elusive love is. Thank you Kudzai for commenting on my poem.

All great questions Karen but if you want my advice, first, find the love within you, it is a flower, hold it in your mind-hands, love it. Then, when you're ready, show it to the world and it will shine like the brightest sun and if it burns true he will come.
