"Love Had"

                  "Love Had"

 

Life had hoped there would be a day,

Love had chosen...to come its way.

Love had dreamed, of passionate nights,

Wrapped in sweet bliss...holding you tight.

 

Love had longed...from the days as a child,

To never know hunger, or miss passion gone wild.

Love had wished and waited so long,

For someone to come...and fully belong.

 

Love had tried and failed at its best.
Drowning in sorrow...lost in life's tests.

Love had cried...and tried to return,

Leave heat inside...where feelings burned.

 

Love had missed...the mark all along;

Coming up empty... to weak to be strong.

Love is a complicated emotion with always requires work to ensure its continuing life inside a soul.
Life's lessons on it can be painful and destroy many souls in the process.
"love had..."--yes, I think this happens frequently.
Nice write on your subject.

Life does teach us many lessons.
"Love had missed...the mark all along;
Coming up empty... to weak to be strong."
Being weak is needed sometime dear Poet. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the excellent poetry.

sad but the longing is palpable in this write which tugs at the heart. that's how I felt it.
in my humble opinion (and I'm no poet, you know that) David is the absolute king of this site. he's scary.
