Searching for love
Searching for love… In this vale where dreams are shattered. Searching for love… In the prosaic eyes, and the souls that are battered. Searching for love… Where promises are always made to be broken. Searching for love… Where the feelings remain fenced in, and the thoughts remain unspoken. Searching for love… Where the brain is benumbed and the heart is cold. Searching for love… Where they are scared even to touch let alone hold. Searching for love… Where lovers are looked down upon, not considered of august lineage. Searching for love… Where love is not at all free flowing, but remains like an animal, caged.
Searching for love… Where love has ceased to be salutary but has become rather tragic. Searching for love… Even though I might be ostracized for believing in its healing touch, still believing in its magic. Still searching for love… Am I crazy? Am I insane? For love ceased being glorious a long time back. It now can only bring you shame. Searching for love… Though I have loved and lost. My soul was crucified and my heart laid slain. I am a believer, a dreamer. So I will just pick up the pieces and start my search again. Searching for love… Will I ever find it? Will I ever be complete? Will I ever savour the elusive bliss? Or still searching, my life will deplete? I don't know, and I don't care. For I shall continue my search… Till, in me, the breath of life is there. This is my original and personal poem. ~Leenuka Reddy~
