Maiden Love

From the tales of old, it has always been known
                          Young hearts are flaky, full of rush and verve
                          Lying in wait, lingering at love's gate
                          To find a soul mate, to heal a heartache 

                          Your quest, a failure, to date
                          Yet still you confide in fate
                          Hoping on hope from up above 
                          Where every two hearts are made in love

                          But you must have paused to ponder
                          Why chase a thing you do not know?
                          Gazing into the skies, you wonder
                          If it will find you, like a besetting snow

                          O what you'd give to live through the thrill 
                          Of true love's first kiss
                          They say it's a remedy to all ills
                          That puts everything in bliss

                          If cupid ever grant you a gentle borrow
                          Know this, it will not be as they told
                          No love can promise a life of no sorrow
                          For true love confounds as you get old

The words suggest you're still young, but the wisdom shows a mind beyond your actual age. This is a lovely poem, Wilfred. Kim :-)
