Where love will take us?

Where love will take us?

A Poem by Lauren Xena Campbell

Where will love take us?
This we do not know,
For love they say is blind,
So where does the blind man go,
Falling, tripping over ourselves,
We will carry onwards,
Until the day we find our way.

But this question I asked myself,
One very dreary day,
I said, where would I go,
When love lighted my way,
I should travel afar and wide,
Seeking treasures to bring home,
For my love I’ll bring back a prize,
Something with rubies, no a throne,
I shall make my love a king,
And watch him while he jests,
Make him laugh, make him cry,
Through it all I shall be by his side.

If my love joined the army,
Then I’d be singing up to,
Travel companions where ever,
Over every single moon,
Until the grave I’m met with,
We shall be inseparable souls,
Even in death my thoughts be with him,
For my love I’d make a whole new world.

This land I make,
Why it would be,
A place where one lives forever,
With dancing and feasting and merry making,
Jolly good times,
For my love,
I’d do anything,
Give him bed, heart and mind,
And if danger arose,
Then I’d give him,
His life for mine,
The ends where I would stop,
For the pleaser of my love,
They matter not,
For they be the fairytale,
For my love I have no limits,
For true love is the measure,
One that lasts forever.

I like what you have to say. The first lines were my favorite:Where will love take us? This we do not know, For love they say is blind, So where does the blind man go, Falling, tripping over ourselves, We will carry onwards, Until the day we find our way. Was confused because the rhyme changed so drastically. I would also watch how long the stanzas are because the shape of your poem changes alot, and when you read it...that can affect the tone and mood.Keep on writing and keep on smiling ~ Lynn

Are you in love ? :) It sure reads like someome so in love she would give all of herself for him. From start to finish your love seemed to strengthen. Nice job. Rain..

Like a ballad sung by a minstrel in a tavern. I like this piece quite a bit. Thank you for your entry in the Any and All Poetry Contest. You have once again made it into the first cut of finalists.

Some great thoughts here, however this line made me laugh and I don't think that was your intention -

"If my love joined the army,
Then I'd be singing up to,"

I think you mean "signing" not "singing," since singing sounds like you're happy he's going off to war and that would make this a completely different poem.

Good work with the rest though. :)

Dreams are not made to be broken, but are created in the heart to write destiny! I've always loved making up stories and putting words down onto paper, despite the fact that I only really learnt to.. more..
