Longing Love for long

My longing for love was so lethal
I swear on the lasting love
I went looking for love everywhere…
but found love nowhere.   

I was so woefully wounded
I swear on severed spirit  
I went searching for salve everywhere…
and found panacea nowhere.

I severely sought salvation
I swear on all saints 
I set sail on seven seas everywhere
and found sanctuary nowhere.

Nice thoughts. Long time ago, an indian saint Kabir das had similar thoughts. He found his solace in his own inner thoughts reflection.
