Love Is Hard To Find

Love surrounds us…though people take it for granite Oh, but we’re unaware of it! We’re ignorant of it at times of tribulation Vibrant, vermillion roses float in the swaying wind, like feathers, passing me by with a smile and a friendly wave Everyone is embracing hate instead of love, embracing havoc instead of peace – WHERE IS THE LOVE? I am longing to feel like I belong! The church bells repeats its penitent bells Saddened by the fact that I’m trapped in my comfort zone of callous night…I want to be unchained from this solitary cave…but no angels tread the road that I’m currently on unfortunately Hate rips my heart apart and throws it in the heartless fire…love is invisible like a caved in treasure Ashamed because I always wanted to find avarice-devouring love, restoring joy to my absent-of-vanity verse Rain descends like the sunset as my spirit ascends like the sunrise above the disconsolate clouds Drenched in heartfelt relief…of experiencing love on another level – I’ll bring back to life my faith towards You once more Tattered by heart’s wistful thumping…replace my heart with beauty’s caress and harmony, for I’m desperately in need of a savior Owned by hatred, the monster that appears in my nightmares, the vile leader of rancorous wolves… Fly away from the darkness that made you drink in desolation and devastation Isolated by bliss and joy – overflowing with lamentation Never able to find a mixture of serenity and exaltation…maybe I’ll find it in the forest’s quietude Destined to unlock my heart’s desire…however, love is hard to find, for I’m a hopeless, romantic boy, foolish in love and frankly…blind!

Love will come to you one day, unexpected, just like the next new poems tapping your shoulders telling you it's time for you to give them your full attention. You have a long creative life ahead. When that person finally comes, I hope you'll look back at this piece and write an antithesis that will blow this out of the water. :)
