Love Reflections

What happens to love when too many years go by?
Does love remain alive or does love die?

Some say that love endures regardless of the years.
Yet why are hearts so sad and lonely and full of fears?

Does love grow like an oak tree or wither like cut flowers,
when their beauty starts to fade, is this the end of love?

Just ask the jilted lovers whose hopes and dreams have faded,
and now these lovers live their life alone and unaided.

Will they ever love again?

Carlos, great write full of emotion, in my opinion the love does not fade in the heart even when the trust is broken, the love first felt has a special place forever, but the strength of the person is to turn away from a love and go on alone to love again ~

Perhaps true love can overcome suffering but not suspicion. Thank you for visiting.

Your pensive poetry is beautifully reflective on the lifeblood of love. I think love responds to the way it’s cultivated: whether it grows like an oak or withers like cut flowers.. the style of cultivation depends on the two people in love. Your thoughtful mind inspires intriguing poetry, Carlos. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan
