The Living Statue

The Living Statue

A Poem by Gifty
"

A ballad of a lover who stood aside on the pedestal waiting fot true love missing out on opportunities, A story about many of us who are still searching in vain

"

And here she goes

Like a swirling charm

Making us sway to her spell

But I stand like a rock

Anosmic

She glided along like a dancer

I was glued to her mystic moves

But I stood like her majestys guard.

Coz something was wrong

As though something foretold

And I stood along

In rain and storm

Guarding my poor old heart.

 

He who loves is a fool

I said

Coz he will never know Pain and gain

The Pain of loving is so intense

That even death will feel its sway

Oh! Yes I loved

But I don’t care

Coz I am above all dis now

Coz pain and gain had lost its glory

When destiny came in my way

 

I dream of a land

Where love is the only truth

Where you cared for me and I cared

For you.

And thus I stood 

Just looking at you.

Waiting for the "right one" to come along, too many people miss opportunities for love and friendship.
"I dream of a land
Where love is the only truth" a bit Utopian, but certainly a lovely thought. Indeed, love will cause pain, but the pain is worth it if the love is real. Very emotive write. I liked it. Lydi**
