The Truth. The Whole Truth. Nothing But The Truth (Pt. 2: The Memoir Of A Love Student)A Poem by Alexander143Lets be real for a moment...
I have walked this fairly worn path a million times before Each time started like a fairy tale but ended like war I, sometimes cannot tell persistence from shear stubbornness But the one thing I have learned is that I have plenty a weakness Love. The single most expressed yet least understood phenomenon One minute you’ve figured it out, the next, it slips into the realm of the unknown From an unquestionable, compelling, till-death-does-us-part-like feel To picking shards of your broken glass heart, wondering if you remember how to heal I have loved a thousand thousand times. I have hurt and been hurt. It’s been a lifetime of lessons on how to dig for diamond in the dirt- With bare hands, and only having to worry about the fool’s gold- That many give up with, not knowing that it turns to dust if you try to mold No. I’m no guru of the affairs of the heart. I could never commandeer my own But time has a way of reminding you that you are supposed to be grown- In how you fall in love the same inexplicable way you see déjà vus; How you somehow kinda know you’ve been to the end before you do It all makes sense! It has to! It’s simple logic. And that’s when you lose it! When you forget that words alone have never made beautiful music For logic has virtually as much to do with the feelings we harbor- As the rest of the book has with the graphical depiction on the cover It’s a game of winners and losers, whose rules glide with the tide. It’s a world of learners whose teachers use broken mirrors to guide It’s a battlefront with lines drawn, weapons drawn and opponents unknown It’s holding on to the last sight of the night sky at the break of dawn I have walked this well worn road a million times over But some things remain constant in the pursuit of a lover Broken things break things, not knowing how to fix or fracture Love is no feeling. Love has no logic. Love is Divine in nature. Keep Smiling © 2018 Alexander143 |
