I have now reached
Early middle age
And much
To the consternation
Of family
And various friends
I have yet
To marry.
They cannot decide
If I am overly picky
Or if I am gay,
For surely I must be one
Or the other!
They cannot conceive
That I am neither,
They cannot believe
That I would willingly
Spend my life alone
Rather than settle
For less than that
Which I have
Already known.
I have tasted
The purest love
Bubbling up from my depths
Like a wellspring,
A love born
When kindred spirits
Meet, and
Give wholly
Of themselves,
A love
That leaves its mark
Not only upon the heart,
But upon one’s very soul.
It is like an exotic drug,
Once taken
Nothing else
Will bring
The same degree
Of euphoria.
So I spend my days
Alone, ever alone, and
Hopefully searching.
Reviews of "Searching"
New Poetry by Rebecca S McKeehan
that is all that counts
feed your heart and soul till their content
as you dreamily drift to sleep.... smiling
Love & Peace be with you
