I'Ve Tried Everything

Reading dictionaries, encyclopedias ; talking to friends ,Pastors, even therapists Searching for the aura, the feeling ,of LOVE : A concept I can not find in my Heart LOVE, It sounds so Beautiful : If I could grasp LOVE for only a moment, Eternity To find LOVE and the words to express such a find to no longer be unemotional Where is the sound of LOVE? Why doesn’t my Heart hear the rhythmic song of LOVE Light this dark Heart with the brilliancy of a symphony written by a LOVING Heart Who would want to teach; to show this old opaque Heart : A living Portrait of LOVE I would Embrace such LOVE

Harry.The day your soul finds it's genuine soul mate.or even real true love. and it goes away[temporarily] your heart almost, 'merely' shuts down to anyone else.but it also doesn't mean it's impossible here on earth now. it's just....that way. and it is sad sometimes.im sure you know all of this. beautiful write. Much love to you.(: -Always&Forever Lynn

If anyone has love in their heart, you do, HG. In fact the depth of your love for Lenore has been an inspiration to those of us who have lost loved ones and still feel the connection. You are, I believe, "A living portrait of love."

Dane is right. Just keep doing what you're doing. I so sense your longing in this poem but I know there is so much love in you, and way too many who would cherish that love. Keep writing and don't ever change a thing about you. Love will find you. hugs, Shar xoxo

HG, You have grasped love. I have seen it shining through some of your work. Is this a true poem about you? Or do you write it in empathy, putting yourself in their shoes and imagining their feelings? If it is the way you are feeling, Please stop and never despair. My advice (Probably given too often.) would be stop searching. Keep writing. Stay true to yourself and love yourself. Then, in a most unexpected way, love will find you. Experience from someone "needy" as was said. Love, Dane
