In Search of Love

My heart whispers to the ear of longing To ask for reasons that love has not come Though each breath yearns for a love's belonging Till' then a great sadness will overcome I find no one that has held me worthy No kiss that has a hunger for my lips All bare witness to judge me unworthy And let fall my hand from their fingertips The night holds me alone in dim-lit-shade As I search my soul's dark farthest threshold And dance with a dreamer shadowed charade To find love true before my heart grows old May the far reaches of my heart find love Upon the hills where I lay to dream of 7/17/21 contest Whispers sponsor John Lawless

Love can be such an elusive quest. The lack of it darkens our days. Your poem relates that with a romantic melancholic beauty. I can relate. Blessings xxoo
