Love's Embrace

Some may deem me lost, my mind astray, But clarity resides within this soul each day. They may see weakness where strength resides, Yet I stand tall, unwavering, with silent pride. Pity not this vessel that you behold, For within beats a heart, compassionate and bold. Though sorrow may shimmer in these eyes of mine, 'Tis empathy that flows, a river divine. They may surmise hunger, an empty core, Yet contentment fills me, abundance galore. Thirst shall not haunt, for I'm nourished within, With love's sweet nectar, a soul drenched in kin. No outer turmoil disturbs this serene frame, For love's gentle touch shields me from all shame. In its tender embrace, I find solace and grace, A refuge unyielding, a sanctuary in space. So judge not my demeanor, my outward guise, For love weaves its tapestry, where truth truly lies. In the depths of my being, love's essence does thrive, A flame everlasting, eternally alive.
