Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Sweet Agony

A love not lost but never found
 An open secret kept unknown
 The peaceful paths of love's battleground
 A sweet agony  yet to be sown

 She was clearly confused
 At the random order
 of love's sad joy
 How it could create and then destroy

 Love was a prisoner roaming free
 Altogether separate from reality
  But she found out a pretty ugly truth --
  -- "Love don't love nobody"!

Kelly Deschler August 30, 2016 at 9:37 PM "Love don't love nobody" is such a sad but true statement... Great creative use of contrasting thoughts here, which often happens when love gets confusing... If this is for a contest, I wish you the best of luck, Joseph!
