My Love Is Somewhere

Maybe...

I feel it writhing in my bloody core 

Wretchedly and woefully 

And quietly pulsating. 

It is grasping for a foothold 

The likes of which will not appear 

So long as there is nothing sturdy beneath it. 

It cries out for something to nourish it 

But is instead blocked 

By a black heart and a frozen soul. 

But my love IS somewhere, 

Waiting to be opened wide enough 

For it to pour like a waterfall. 

It will be gentle and welcoming 

And will fill me with tingles in waves 

Because really, my love must be somewhere.

The deep feeling you put through with these words as you think of the person you've fallen in love with is flowing like water but rushing with a strong adrenaline boost. The desire for something is most definitely a strong thing, something you want could get you somewhere, but could it be a need more than a desire? Things could change from different perspective. A personification of the heart crying but unheard, only to be isolated inside stiff solid matter adds the story a bit more interesting. Emotions are what get us to move on and to make things interesting, good or bad. Will the ice truly become water someday? Will the water continue to be cold or warm when the time comes or passes by? The heart is not alone, though it may not have half of it's pieces yet to form a complete love story, it still has its mind. Without a brain, it could not think or feel of what emotion is. You are the Ying, The other is the Yang. It needs it's counterpart. Love can be unexplained of why one is in love. But one thing is for sure, always pursue your goal. Even if it's a small one.

Thanks. ^^ At the time I definitely didn't feel like my love was in me but rather somewhere I'd have to journey to find...I was craving the idea of being able to love, and knowing wholeheartedly I could. Again, thanks for the review. :P

Searching or waiting? Being patient is one thing but if you're waiting for too long, you would never know if your love has ever passed your presence. Have a keen eye and a strong mind if you want to find the one who you believe is your destined person.

It's a really nice poem. It sounds like the character is determined that she will find love, and that until that point she will wait for it and let it come when it should. :)
Very nice.

Thanks. Hopeful poems like these are rare for me and I feel they don't always turn out so well so thanks. :)

This strikes home for me..

Yeah, you do seem like another person who feels the same way. In fact, I think I've read some of your poems with quite a similar message. Thanks for reading. :)

This is one really hopeful and pleasant piece, Riley. For all those who are single, and more, for those who have not yet entered any relationship but are waiting for the right person, which they will eventually find! Nice one!
