Sad

A Poem by Huw

He said love is a lie that causes nothing but pain

for a man to reach 50 years and say this is sad indeed.

Most young people mistake lust and infatuation for love.

Infatuation will soon fade when a new face enters the room

a more beautiful face, a happier face, an inviting face.

Lust is a craving of the flesh that demands to be fed

and once fed often disappoints or needs to be fed again.


Love, however, is a precious jewel that is not found by many.

People are so busy indulging themselves with infatuations

and allowing their lusts to gorge in every way, they miss out on love. 


Sad.

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
