Lost in Love

I search,
Am I a lost cause?
I speak to all, to friends
To enemies.
Where can she be?
My love is nowhere to be found.
I search for her daintiness,
Her dark black fringe,
Her lithe contours so marvellous.
Her red full lips.

Am I pursuing a foolish dream?
A glimpse.
That’s all I ask.
I will be in paradise.

Tell her it was just a random remark.
I love her till the end of times.
And I wander around the main streets,
Searching,
Searching.
I am not much I know,
But I need her.
I saw a glimpse of her.
She smiled.
But it could not be her!
Her hair was red.
Could she have played a trick on me?
I only see red now.

Victor, is a poignant exploration of longing and uncertainty. Your search for her essence, from daintiness to red lips, paints a vivid picture of a love pursued with passion. The mix of doubt and determination resonates deeply. The glimpse of a smile and the questioning of reality add layers to this emotional journey. Your words capture the essence of love's complexities and the quest for a connection that feels almost within reach. - Blessings, Daniel

Your exquisitely nostalgic display of affection, Victor, is lovely. Your written work emanates a deep-seated sentiment of romance, as this specific composition elicits a burning need to be embraced by fervent crimson lips.

I can feel the emotion in this one. There is always someone out there who is the right person to fill our needs. Sometimes you will find them in some unusual places like the library, grocery store, at church, etc. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us and dropping by my page. Sara K

Either she was playing a trick on you or punishing you for that random remark. A bunch of flowers will please her and if you want to really win her over throw in a box of chocolates. Tom
