Viritutum Vita

Roses are red violets are blue
Love is so special, But be cautioned
its reserved for only the few. 

For once in my life I was so sure of something that was real,but i must 
have been trapped in her congenial veil.
so riddled with self doubt, insecure with what i was trying to figure out.

but love isn’t easy
love is patent,love is kind.
love is everything you make of it.

love is like a puppy dog frolicking in the sand, love is like a helping hand.
love can be friendships we share, love can be our biggest despair. 

I thank god for blessing me every day, for i am no modern day Ernest Hemingway.
In steed of dwelling on something I wish that would be, I should thank you for letting me be 
your noble steed.

I write about how I feel, sometimes I just have to deal with the cards of my worlds surreal. 
I wish love is something I felt, 

because love is proud
it does not boast, it does not write hurtful posts. 

Love is not arrogant. 
Love is patient, love is kind.

love can be found in the smallest places,
love is the reason for my creation.”
