Love Will Find You

Maybe I’m supposed to be,

An onus on this family tree.

Forgotten time and place to be,

Recluse though of my own decree.

Doomed to watch and doomed to serve,

Hug the straights and speed the curves.

Endure the words that play on nerves,

The further back, the vision blurs.

 

When they see, who will it be?

Of all those there, it won’t be me.

I can beg and cry and plea,

But pride, it fuels the irony.

The vicious loom of endless loops,

Bad in head, adept in groups.

Broaden the field and widen your hoops,

Keep running, not searching for time to recoup.

 

When to give in and when to resign?

To say all things end is inherently blind.

To put on a smile, a face that is kind,

If dishonest in nature, intrinsically lying.

Hiding your pressured, prohibited crying,

Eyes opened fully, perpetually drying.

Secretly hoping that someone is spying.

Vigilance hot, the interior frying.

 

Stop looking, I say.

I instruct you to do.

Turn off this paranoid, ruinous stew.

Relax your tension and widen your view,

Allow for refreshment, the cool of the dew.

Stop searching for answers, for fictional clues.

For love is not hiding, no.

Love will find you.

Great work. I love the rhyming, which is also my style of writing.

[Eagle Cruagh]

The last stanze is not only
pretty with nice rhyming,
but it is also the truth.
Love will find you .
Very nice poem and the
moral is Stop. Be yourself
and your life will become
complete.
Great writing .

[Yo Diggity]

I'll admit to not having read much since I joined this site. To be quite honest this will be the first poem added to my favorites. There is wisdom behind these words. Sadly, more often than not people don't follow their own advice. I really enjoyed the imagery and flow in this piece. Nice job.

[Everett DeValle]

Such a heartfelt message...I truly enjoyed reading this poem.

[Cliff Rhodes]

This is a very profound view of discovery and life's enigmatic cipher code.
(A beautiful poem to pay attention to.)

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This could make a great song.
The intense desire for truth was
very powerful and easy to feel
a connection with.

[Su' Nacnetaf]

INteresting, inspirational, yet I sense something more to it, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this out loud, I will read it again, and maybe again to see if I find any hidden meanings to this particular piece. Great writing indeed ^^
