Finding Love
18 June 2016
Blinding Love
A streak of lightning
Bolts through Heart
With a start
On comes the reckoning Time
Tides for bare seashores
Binding Love
Oft misconceptions
The snide talk
Of bondage
Thoughts in the mind that rummage
Through empty drawers
Buying Love
Silver coin in palm
She will tell
Your fortune
In dark alleys where eyes look
Away empty halls
Chiming Love
Sacred be thy name
To death’s toll
It peals, squeals
The greying head it reveals
Decaying monster
Shining Love
Diamonds in a dream
Brittle glass
Of trinkets
True nature washed by the stream
Of the years’ routine
Finding Love
Impossible task
The rare gem
Sewn in hem
Tucked away in silent pouch
See it when you crouch

It does seem unattainable at times!

True. Some rare couples find true love but most of the others are just doing with whatever they had and developing their art of compromise rather than their possibilities for true love by being truer to who they are

I loved this poem…almost like it was about how we are all looking for something but never truly getting what we want…brilliant!

Thank you AR. Am glad you loved it. Sometimes the paradox is we get what we want but don’t know it is so
