Once I Sought But Love Ran Away

Once I Sought But Love Ran Away I sought peace by way of knowledge the well was full but the peace it did so hide I ran races after peaceful horses but the saddles fell of and trampled was my heart I sought love by way of exciting sex with beautiful vixens but satisfied I found love hiding I ran after soft girls with hard sexy bodies only to find sex great but true joy O' so elusive A journey lead me into a wild life looking for clues to peace and love. I found great pleasure no real gain. I sat for years begging for an answer when suddenly a little bird told me- Stop, you are trying to force it! Love flees from force. Settle down, look around and you will see Love seeking you out! A great truth hit me like a ton bricks. I obeyed that little voice and now married ten years to the Love that searched me out! Hallejah and I praise her with a Shout!!!!! Stop, open your heart, look and listen. That same little bird just may speak to you! Robert Lindley. 08-13-2014

Robert That is a smart little birdie. Glad it helped you find your true love. That bird and cupid should get together and combine their love skills. LOL Thank you for the great comment on my Mermaids poem.
