'Tis better to have loved...
 

 

I've learned to love

 

the pretty lies

 

The ones that hide

 

in sweet disguise

 

The ones that seem

 

to quickly fade

 

To lovers lost

 

in hope's charade.

 


 

 

With pretense of

 

a beauty queen

 

The aging form

 

in shadows seen

 

A memory of

 

what once was new

 

A one time love

 

now lost from view

 


 

 

The test of time

 

has failed the heart

 

The end of love

 

from wishful start

 

Years have tarnished

 

the romantic sheen

 

Of a golden promise

 

never seen

 


 

 

Soft memories of

 

lovers past

 

Of forever dreams

 

that didn't last

 

Hold sweet in wafts

 

of love's perfumes

 

With no regrets

 

the search resumes

In beautiful verses you have told the old old story of love's fickle promise. I guess that's why we get wise. We lose at love so much that all that is left, is wisdom.

Live, love, and laugh often. - that's what we need to do. The one who is genuine without any pretense will come along for you. You are wise to love wothout any regrets so you can enjoy fully of each romance that comes along. Keep searching, 'cause the one for you is still out there, waiting for you.

Your poem expresses a universal and timeless theme of this world/live. I must say that I "feel" and agree with what you have shared through your verses, Sherry. Love and best wishes to you,

The last two lines says it all, Sherry. Coming back after a traumatic experience is hard, but necessary for our well being. We never quit looking, hoping for that magic we call love.
