Everything's Okay
Love feels like an illusion;
a mixture of lies and truth.
And it's non-responsive to
the expectations of youth.
Facing doubt and frustration,
bravado falters and slips.
And yet, in your fantasies,
passion drips from luscious lips.
Hope courts imagination,
summoning a dreamy smile.
And you find your private place,
where you go once in a while.
You yearn for a soulmate with
whom to share your existence.
And you continue to search
with undying persistence.
You fall in and out of love
with the ghosts of yesterday.
And despite your loneliness,
say everything's okay.
(Quatrain)
