Deprived of your Love Contest

What is the shore without the sea Aimlessly wondering watery dreams Deferred desolate depressed empty Is how I am without love in me That one true love for which one is blind Without it there is darkness blackest of times Is like a blue bird without a heart song No white wind of romance to carry it on Without love there is nothing to fight for No reason to desire life would be a bore Amethyst art would starve forever more No apple of the eye to amber adore Without love music would be dead The humming of machinery could be heard instead Humanity would die off no kids born Feelings would be liability and scorned Without love I am an empty cocoa shell With no inspiration no wishing well No dedication or passion that bleeds That is what lack of love does to me
