Love Wherefore Art Thou


Love wherefore art thou my dear?
Art thou held here within this tear?
This small crystal droplet that falls
That makes of mine own heart fools
Love wherefore art thou now lying
Art thou gone leaving me crying?
This tear that breaks open my heart
That tears my desolated soul apart

Love wherefore art thou my sweet?
Art thou found in the hearts heat?
These ashes that once blazed high
Art thou lost in loneliness sad sigh?
Wherefore should I seek you again?
Why art thou offering me your pain?
Art thou hiding your light from me?
Leaving me without your pure beauty

Love wherefore art thou my dream?
Art thou found in this living stream?
These emotions that once sang loud
Now silent not standing there proud
Will I ever hear your voice again?
Will I ever dance in your blest flame?
To feel thy power washing over me
Love I shall desire you for all eternity

Lovely and sad....I wonder if love goes someplace special to rest up for the next time we need it?

I think love waits for us to learn what we need to, to appreciate all it offers us....so we may recognize it when it finally comes to us.

I like what PDV said about love going somewhere until we need it next....makes you wonder doesn't it? This is so sad but also so much of your soft and wonderful heart Mushy...I hope you find that your dreams will come true...I've always believed that they will if you want them to bad enogh...take care Mushy ...love to ya!!

Sometimes we want love so much that we believe we see it where it is not...the step from friendship to love is a big one that needs to be carefully taken...someday perhaps I will learn to take it at the proper time...James

Its kind of like holding on to the edge of a cliff and holding on to the person you very almost love....it is so scary.

Oh Juliet my gentle flower
thou knowest not of love's power
thou hide'st thy heart inside the bower
then from love's touch thou dos't cower
Thou gave thy heart forever free
'twas then love turned imprison'd thee
but thou must trust and vict'ry see
when love shelters in thy lee
But wait lest love bypass thou crown
and look not away nor up or down
when love returns to lift thy frown
thou wils't say tis love I own
then knowest thy will of love's power
to keep thee every day and hour.

Marsha look what you made me do. The whips will get me everytime.

Hi Marsha,

Splended poetry so enjoyed, and the replys you got so full of wisdom, sometimes I think im blind to love because it carrys with it alot of pain I have found, not letting the good in it grow larger than the pain, thank you one I shall keep in my library.

Love, Cerenity

Thank you all so very very much for taking the time to read this, I'm sure that love goes hiding, otherwise I'd find her easier to locate.
I do appreciate all of your comments and words of wisdom, thank you so very much.
Take care love as always
Mushy
