Being hurt takes its toll st times

Defeated . Cautious I was reluctant To trust in them so I have had loves fire burn bright Only to have it let go It's fulfilling your desire Within sparks abound Being blinded then tossed Completely around those feelings of pain Formed doubt and fear Once you've lost someone So lovely and dear You hold many inside with you Until the very end So many faces whether they be Lover or friend Sound that soul its gate Is through the eyes Like the mirror on the wall It shows all the lies Reluctant to look scared What you might find This is how love becomes Misguided and blind Learned from mistakes I've caused in the past Understanding with compassion Helping it to last Listening to your heart Teaching love forever Just believe there is nothing that can't be done by caring for everyone You have already won Seeing in them what you Want to see in you With loves power There is nothing we cannot do

Love is powerful and to keep that light going one must trust the other and communicate.

Always,

You had me worried until the end when love wins out again.
Well done.

It is very true that love is very powerful; sadly, many do not know how to handle it; and even more sad, some use it to do wrong. A meaningful sharing, Kathleen. Love and best wishes,

Indeed, love is a very powerful emotion, so much that poets such as us continue to write about it, as you have done so well in this poem, in order to better understand and come to terms with what it all means. John

Being "Misguided and blind" happens so often to those who have been betrayed by someone you thought was a person of his/her word. Great write, my friend!!

Love ya!

A positive attitude I'm seeing within the confines of this poem, Kathleen. While it is true to be able to "Listening to your heart" it is also true that as the heart leads, you should pay attention to your brain for pitfalls, etc. along the way.
