Looking for love

by Robert   May 7, 2013


I walk in the rain, and harden my heart
Soaked in lies, it hurt from the start
Puddles of regret, and emotions walked on
My mind was clouded, love forgone

Shattered like glass, and scraped together
No amount of time could undo its tether
Bound to my emotions and left to revive
I look for answers something to derive

A glimpse of light through the clouds in my mind
Left me in surprise, but all was blind
Shrouded in deceit, I was far from open
But something had changed like a drop in the ocean

It echoed from within, rippling on
Through the very soul of who I am, and all I dwelled upon
Soon I was warm, and the rain had stopped
Nothing forgotten, and nothing dropped

Although I never forget this world is painful
People are lies, and what they say is disdainful
I look for that one person to keep me in the light
Out of the rain, and always in my sight

    A very good message about love and the meaning behind it gives a sense of a deep sadness. The joys and pain of love never ceases to touch a heart...take care.

    Very well written, rhyming poem by Robert, although if I may offer a little advice?

    Perhaps:

    1/People are lies, what 'they' say is 'deceitful'

    2/Out of the rain, and always in my 'sight'

    Think this sounds, rhymes & flows much better, otherwise spot on!

    I enjoyed this Poem, specially the ending. I know I sound cliche but you do have nice endings. In my opinion.

    I think we all go looking for love and this is one poem many will relate to. What I like the most is the way you tell a story while adhering to rhyming. ( it's kind of tough) specially that you manage to stay on topic.

    5/5
