It's just love... ...and it is a treasure; even if it hurts...

It’s Simple

It is so simple
This truth I share
Life has not been the same
Since you
 
I am a rose without petals
Only thorns
A bird without wing feathers
I cannot fly
Without you
I am earthbound
Yearning for the heaven of you
 
I am a night sky
Without stars
A moon without a smile
 
I feel adrift without you
On an uncertain sea
A ship lost
A soul seeking you
Since only you will do
 
I keep hoping
I refrain from reading and listening
To the treasures of love
And feelings you shared
In my face
In my mind
Never mind your kisses
Tattooed on my soul
 
Perhaps I ought to
But I will never
Bury that treasure
 
Because I love you
As I always will

This love declaration is filled with emotions. You have expressed your love and your frustration so well. We all do love something or someone passionately, and it shows yours through this heartfelt poem.

Love and hugs to you, dear friend,

It's good to express your true feelings in a poetic song. It's like a bird singing and calling out for his lover. Yes, when they don't return to the nest, it is sad indeed. One day you will meet someone who will literally knock your socks off. Pray about it my friend. She is closer than you think. Yes my friend, she is only one prayer away.
Peace, Blessings and may the Love of the Lord be with you,

John Michael

Beautiful poem. The character is lonely.

I don't usually comment on my own "stuff" but I must respond to Ed. I HAVE a life (I just became a grandfather). I have sweet friends (mostly women) who care and maybe I am not as attentive to them as I ought to be. I am certainly not "bitchin'." I love her. She asked me to. I suppose I would "let her go" if she told me to. I guess that's love, at least in my books. But thank you for your concern and well-intentioned advice, Ed. Love and peace to you and to all.

Surely, this poem from the depths of a longing heart would win back the love of the missing lass. How blessed is the one who has earned such devotion. I especially like the phrase..."your kisses tattooed on my soul" Beautiful writing!
Sincerely,
Connie

Sincere and beautifully expressed. A pleasant and touching poem.

Having spent many years alone, spurned by more than one, you have to learn to love yourself more than placing all of your love where it doesn't bear fruit. As soon as you do that and forget all the hurt, others will flock to you for your encouragement and positive attitude. Trust me, it works.

We never really miss someone until they're not there. Other than that, I can't say it any better than what's been said by the others.

In response to your request: There is nothing simple about love, Regis... But there is a child-like quality here in your piece; simply decorated with chasteness, with a deep sense of melancholy permeating the subtext. Coming away from this the reader is left with 'feelings' of sympathy for the writer. Peace... richard

This is absolutely soul wrenching. I think it would make any woman want to be that woman. Regis, this is the most perfectly beautiful write I have ever read, even while being heart breaking.

There is only that one true love that can make one feel "whole" as your imagery so clearly states. Hopefully, that feeling, love, can be rekindled and burn in your heart again one day.

Love ya!

Regardless of what others say I am wholeheartedly in agreement with you Regis. There is only one true love in life and most are not fortunate enough to find it in their own space and time. If you have found yours do not let her get away. Peace to you my friend.
