Can I Find Love

I constantly search for it but it's enigmatical elusive, hidden in a Mona Lisa smile. Should I arm myself against self inflicted pains? Camouflage my feelings with insouciant emotions? For all my cirrhosis equivocal endeavors, I manage only to forge a jealous rift, until fragile truths bring sullen tears. For God is love, and love is truth. Had I misused it? Is that why I can't find it now? Yet they say that love is beautiful. Where does true beauty lie? All I find is veiled secrets, thinly disguised behind mirthful masks frivolously worn on carefree Valentine days. Should in dire despair give up?

Beautifully stated, I hope you find it; it is not an easy thing to find anymore. If you do, grab it.

As you said, God is love and He is the only One who loves us unconditionally, when we find Him, we find love:)

That you search for love shows a sweet heart…a Valentine not bitter but sweet. Self-inflicted pain, insouciant emotions, jealous rift, sullen tears. To be vulnerable is to love. HVD my dear friend! ~ hugs

Genuine words of passion exploring love in its true state Victor... Love is everywhere, and need not be beautiful... Mind shines when it is truthful and lovable, and that indeed makes the personality shine MORE...Sorry I haven't been on Soup for several days... Life keeps me too busy... Enjoyed reading your verse... Have a great blessed day... ~ Ani

There is a touch of sadness in your lines. If you feel glum now, remember, another happy moment will drop into your life unexpected . Life is one of joy and sorrow.... Can we ever sift joy alone and discard sorrow ! There are hundreds of fans for you here itself. I always notice, you are one of the most widely read poets here. So cheer up man!

I had only one love in my life. There cannot be another. Which is why i would rather die and meet my wife again.
