Love is a mystery

You can see it in his eyes he is ready for love,

Feeling like tonight could be the lucky night.

First date in a while and she is looking fine!

But what will he feel at the end of the night?

 

They share many smiles and bursts of laughs…

For a second no painful memories exist.

But as the night slowly withers away,

He starts to pull away and resist.

 

She wants to lay and cuddle on the couch,

So he spends the night willingly pretending…

That this current woman makes him happy,

But it’s only getting closer to ending.

 

Hot and steamy she screams his name,

She’s thinking she’s found Mr. Right.

While thoughts flood his erratic mind…

How he can get rid of her after tonight?

 

He lacks a connection with every date…

Something that is almost unexplainable.

Add this date to the growing list of women

That can’t build any emotion that’s sustainable.

 

They come and they go but they never know

That his heart is closed because his eyes don’t show

He is broken inside though his words do not lie

Love is as mysterious as angels in the sky.

Sad story of love and very well done. This looks to be maybe one of your new open pieces of work??? Anyway I like it. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like stuck in your own head and trying to find someone that wants to see if their key works to get inside.

[AaronFreitas]

Yes of course Willard :) That was my night haha.... it's a new feeling of shutting people out. I would say my heart has always been open letting everyone in and now it's changed and only the right person will find the way which is probably a good thing. Appreciate your review :)

I liked the poem and I understand the thoughts.
"He is broken inside though his words do not lie
Love is as mysterious as angels in the sky."
Few people can spark our mind and heart. I tell people. You don't find love. Love will find you. Thank you Aaron for sharing the excellent poetry.

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Julie... worst part is not knowing why it is happening. Wanting love but pushing it away before it has a chance. Appreciate your review :)

Aaron, a terrific piece of work.
My only faults are use of punctuation and lack of it
I love this last line and I may use it some day if you won't mind. (Love is as mysterious as angels in the sky)

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Raj... I always get a little lost with punctuation in poetry I should probably do some research and get better at that... gotta keep growing and learning. You are more than welcome to use that line... the entire write flowed well or at least writing it came easy and then the last line took a little thought and thats what I came up with. Glad you liked it :)

[fattycbreezy52]

this is the most amazing thing i have come across today:)

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you my friend I appreciate that compliment :)

[Shea McWilliams]

I personally find rhyming poems difficult to write and I love the way you use rhyme so eloquently. I really liked how this took a turn that I honestly wasn't expecting because it really changed the entire feel of the poem. Great job on this amazingly emotional piece, Aaron. Keep writing!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Shea... life is full of unexpected turns... sometimes they catch us by surprise and sometimes create those turns... in this instance it's a little of both and confusing but I am glad you as the reader understood how it started so well and turned so fast. Thanks for reviewing :)
