PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have spent my life,
wanting and wishing,
ever so ambitous.

But no one I know,
has it all,
at the same time.

Likeable family visits,
warm friends nearby,
work you can survive.

Time to do hobbies,
down time alone,
and someone to love.

Love is the kicker,
it poses a challenge,
with it's variables.

Comfort is important,
security is essential,
but a passionless mix.

Lust is the oil,
in an engine of life,
smoothing the rough spots.

But all of those ideas,
get confusing in the mix,
of any relationship.

Settling for too little,
of any one ingredient,
puts the flavour out of flux.

Our mothers told us,
fairy tale romances,
are the stuff of books.

That growing up means,
letting go of romantic,
ideals and aims.

But loving a person,
makes it hard to tell,
if you're not "in love" as well.
