Love is a mystery

You can see it in his eyes he is ready for love,

Feeling like tonight could be the lucky night.

First date in a while and she is looking fine!

But what will he feel at the end of the night?

 

They share many smiles and bursts of laughs…

For a second no painful memories exist.

But as the night slowly withers away,

He starts to pull away and resist.

 

She wants to lay and cuddle on the couch,

So he spends the night willingly pretending…

That this current woman makes him happy,

But it’s only getting closer to ending.

 

Hot and steamy she screams his name,

She’s thinking she’s found Mr. Right.

While thoughts flood his erratic mind…

How he can get rid of her after tonight?

 

He lacks a connection with every date…

Something that is almost unexplainable.

Add this date to the growing list of women

That can’t build any emotion that’s sustainable.

 

They come and they go but they never know

That his heart is closed because his eyes don’t show

He is broken inside though his words do not lie

Love is as mysterious as angels in the sky.

Sad story of love and very well done. This looks to be maybe one of your new open pieces of work??? Anyway I like it. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like stuck in your own head and trying to find someone that wants to see if their key works to get inside.

[AaronFreitas]

Yes of course Willard :) That was my night haha.... it's a new feeling of shutting people out. I would say my heart has always been open letting everyone in and now it's changed and only the right person will find the way which is probably a good thing. Appreciate your review :)

love cant be forced upon that's why its a mystery. this guy is trying to force it on his new list of women he meets and that is why he is in misery.

[Michele Harman]

Kind of depressing but you probably got all the emotions from everyone just right.

sun glasses hide my eyes for i keep my feelings hidden like a mystery
but what is in ones heart can also be a mystery to others and to ones self

Interesting view on the one night stand topic and reasons for doing so. Reminds me of a piece I share here on WC, but from the women's perspective. Forgive me, but I have to leave a comment on the structure, it just doesn't read smoothly all the time and I think, it could be improved to feature an even nicer flow. (Because I think, you intended to stick to certain rhyme pattern, it just doesn't read as undisturbingly as it maybe should).

Love your rhyme in this poem. As a devotee of rhyme this one really caught the eye. A nice piece of work, Aaron.

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much Doodley :) Rhyming is something that comes naturally when I write and I enjoy it.

[ExquisiteEyes]

It has a sad tone but beautifully expressed. We meet so many people but we don't feel that connection with everyone. Only some people are allowed the opportunity of breaking down our walls and discovering who we actually are. The rest are just 'somebody'...

[AaronFreitas]

You're right... the rest are just somebody. We wait for the one that makes us happy and lets us be ourself yet they still love us for who we are :)

[Firemay]

That was sad but i like the idea of it. I guess it's hard to find the one for you or at least someone you are willing to open up to.

[AaronFreitas]

Yes indeed Firemay. There have been plenty of pretenders so far but no one with a true heart :) Thanks for your review

[Weeping willow]

Sad! People come and go, but their echoes remain.
Lost love has left you broken! But one should not succumb to that. Life is a journey to discover and rediscover itself. It's meaning, it's purpose, it's spirit. And it can only be worth living, if one really tries to. To move on and live again. Try harder, dear friend to be happy, for it's aptly said that,
'Happiness is a choice!'

[AaronFreitas]

It is a choice Jyoti... I'm trying my friend :) Thanks for your awesome review :)

[Jyoti_Ablaze]
