I write mostly of love.
What I hold in my heart.
Every precious passage.
Every shifting season.
I write of the love of yesterday, tomorrow, and today.
What I felt before.
I have walked this path before,
This labyrinth of love.
For this emotion has me lost today.
Lost in the hidden chambers of your heart.
I have been with you every season.
Walked with you every narrow passage.
At church, together we would read every passage.
I wish to return to the way we were before.
Together we would sleep through each season.
How we shared much love.
We held each others heart.
If only you were still with me today.
We would be married today.
We would have walked down the aisle or passage.
We would have said I do in heart.
I would have loved you even more than before.
We would have spent our lives together in love,
And celebrated every season.
But I am alone for every season.
You are not with me today.
You no longer love.
I walk alone in life's passage.
Just as I did before.
Searching for someone to hold my heart.
My lonely, broken, poor, pathetic heart.
Another passed season,
Alone like before,
But I am stronger today.
I pursue my own perfect passage.
I seek the mayflower of love.
Love is within my heart.
I write of every passage, and of every season.
I am stronger today than ever before.
Author's Notes/Comments:
Wrote this sestina at work. inspired when Shannon asked why about love so much.
most of your poems make me go "awww"
Love is that one thing that some people say they don't need, but they actually really do. Then there's those people who's hearts are so broken and tattered that they just give up all hope for anything new. Or they become love dependent. Then they feel the need that they absolutely have to have someone by their side, like they can't live without a soul mate. I'm sure love will come to you some day. Or maybe you'll go out and find it. I hope that when you do, you feel all happy and like you've found someone to stay with you until you die. Good luck
Love dependent
I like to share my things. loving someone does not make them love you back. I hope I find someone that we both share love and we both love each other unconditionally. Thanks for the rea. I am glad you enjoyed it.
greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends
