Poem Xxiii - We Found Love In a Hopeless Place

We found love in a hopeless place. Common sentence used by people to describe what they so apparently believed to have felt. Can you feel something you don't know? Could you tell me what that sentence honestly means? Allow me to show you the abilities of a human mind. A Mind Of A 16-Year Old. There's two points, "We Found Love" and "Hopeless Place." Please read slow and carefully. We Found Love. Love on its own could take days to describe. Whatever you've felt when it comes to love is just the tip of an iceberg. What I don't get is the face that its been found. If you find something that means it was once lost so did you lose it? Because if you did then its clear that you know what love is but do you know what love is? No you don't know so how can you find something you don't know? Funny hey? People are so quick to claim when they don't even know what they are claiming. That's how our minds work, inquisitive but stupid. Yes some people were stupid and thought that they were shot by Cupid. Cupid shoots the unknown so how would you know when you've been shot? It's a feeling they say. A feeling that can't be described. So in all honesty no one knows what this love is. They just hope to get it. This is where the second point comes in. Hopeless Place. Hopeless has two words "Hope" and Less." Let me be brief. People have hope. Hope to find love. People have hope. Hope to have a love that will find them. The more they put hope into something they have less of a chance finding the unknown. Let the unknown make itself known and you might find place. But place has two syllables, "Play" and "See" right? How can you find love when you play? If love plays then a lot of people would've found it. This great has a lock and one key. You don't see the key because you don't own it. When the unknown is ready to present itself to you then the lock will be unlocked and shower you with gifts you've never seen. So the sentence was We Found Love In A Hopeless Place. Now that the sentence has been broken down I'll say the same sentence backwards and it says: See Play Less And There's Hope That Love Will Find We. People don't find love because they don't know what it is. If we stopped gallavanting, inviting strangers to explore our homes then maybe we might be graced by this thing we don't know. Might be shown the corners of a circle or maybe might be given a key to unlock the greatest pleasure of life. See Play Less And There's Hope That Love Will Find We. 2014/07/31 (edited)
