The Mystery of Love

[lostinstrangeworld]

Does all desire lead to transience?


We ache for the deepest love
We search,
But lust is empty
We search for the one who'll fit
Only to grow apart
And leave someone,
Or be left.
How can Pandora's box be shut
Once it has been opened
How can you calm the longing
Of deep knowing
In someone's eyes
Once you have caught a glimpse
Of how they can feel....
Do we torture ourselves
With the freedom
Of our modern world
Do we try to bury
Our true need within?
Do we twist out of shape,
As time goes by?
What happened to our innocence
What happened to our
Belief in magic
What happened to the tenderness
Of our open hearts?
Must we wave goodbye,
To fairytales?
Times are never easy
For the born romantic,
Forever searching
For something,
Never to be found,
And if it is found
Perhaps all is not as appears,
As it fades away,
Like another illusion.
But perhaps things
aren't meant to last?
Maybe, its all an experience?
So where is that love,
We really search for?
Where can love be found?
Is creation,
Just an illusion?
Or is there some endless,
glorious plan,
Higher realms, of
greater harmony
An endless experience
Into infinity.....
Then maybe, just
maybe
Fairytales do exist.

(For I do not know if we were meant to return.....
to some kind of BLOB
of cryptic "Oneness"! :D

(It really is tiring being a deep thinker!). :D :D

"When I see I am nothing,
that is wisdom.
When I see I am everything,
that is love.
And between these two,
my life flows."

Nisargadatta Maharaj

Love is the oneness and it's not cryptic it's natural.

Yes, do get some rest- you need it- clever clogs! :)


I really do enjoy reading your works, you have an absolutely amazing gift for encapsulating your thoughts and emotions. You know what, I would love to see it written in a fresh Moleskine note book, written with a blue inked fountain pen. :) Lovely ending, nice to finish on a positive note. ;)

Such a questioning mind... beautiful. *sniff*

*Wipes tear* :D :) :) :) :)

Very wise words there, yes indeed!

I think love can trap, has well it can free the person, it must seek knowing of the greatest good, i believe.

A wonderful poem.

Indeed we live in a fantasy world.

Thank you. :)

I really don't think my poetry is very good, just a way for me to "shout, shout, let it all out" as it were.....to purge myself of emotions, thoughts, etc.

The Gemini mind! communication is your forte .Don't think poems are not very good thats the point of creativity , it doesn't happen in that part of the brain .Feel how good they are they are an expression of you of being , something we can all share and relate to .Well done .I just reread your other poem last night on the poetry thread about the stolen boy .Another excellent one re post it here for all to share . well done again .Many Geminis make good writers allow it to flow more don't Analise it . Anal ise ( Eyes =see shit ) so thats where thinking too much gets you !!
:D
