Love I couldn't find

A Poem by Salem

I don't seem to know how to write a love verse
every time I try, my writing get worse and worse
I put the idea in my head that I love her so much
but when I pen it down, I just lose my touch

I want to describe her beauty starting from her face
the way she smiles at me, the way we gaze
the feeling where our heartbeats race
the long caring hours, the long loving days

the way our lips get closer,
the time where she cries on my shoulder
the time when I told her
"only with you I want to get older"

I want to talk about how we first met
along with the memories that we will never forget
I want us to talk about our wedding
about the ring in the cake that I have hidden

I want to talk but nothing is real
Love I couldn't find, Love I could not feel
Love till now, I didn't know it
and yet I call myself a poet

what a pity !! I thought I'm strong
I thought I would survive but I was wrong
I want a girl to come along
and live with her a lifelong

I want a wife
to brighten my life
where she share her bread if we were poor
and if we were rich, she keeps our wealth secured

I want a wife that later be called Mom
by a little girl that I keep both away from harm
I want her to bring the happiness to this house
and set my soul to calm

but yet love didn't step at my door
that why I cant express it or pen it down
as to write about love she has to be there
so I can pen down our love, emotions and care
