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 :)

So very good, but so sad :( sadness aside this is one heck of a poem. Great job!

[AaronFreitas]

It's been awhile... I had to go back and read it and man I see how sad it is now. Much sadder when I read it now than when I wrote it. I am glad you liked it :)

[Cherry_blossom_red]

That tends to happen when one goes back and reads older writings, but nonetheless I'm glad I got to read it. Many, many thumbs up to this :)

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Cherry :)

[Cherry_blossom_red]

You're welcome :)

[McBear]

I really liked this. I see the ideas of "Love" you are trying to convey

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Poison :) It was from my point of view and how elusive true love is :)

[McBear]

No problem c: Good job!

[Veronique]

Aaron my friend your heart seems so lost here and has such a deep sense of longing within your words like your heart is afraid to get too close to anyone perhaps because of being hurt so deeply from a past love? If so then my heart goes out to you my friend and until your heart is ready and the time is once again right for you to feel you can trust another then and only then will you be able to truly give your love . One day the right one will come along for you and your heart will know 'she' is the one for you.Warm country hugs and smiles to you Aaron my friend.

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Veronique... this heart has been through a lot and just when it seems ready and open to love it just pushes away. I'm hoping with time and with the right person all will get better :) Thanks for your awesome review :)

[Veronique]

I promise Aaron as time goes by your heart will mend and the right one for you will seek you out and when that time comes you will know her hearts whisper when it speaks to your heart I promise my friend...:)

[AaronFreitas]

Thanks... I'm patiently waiting :)

[Fate]

nice!..like this poem sir:)

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Fate :) I tried to show a little bit of my softer side :)

[Fate]

hmmm.. we all do have that side :)

[Lynda]

The words here show a real longing for something real with someone real...tired of meaningless relationships, searching for more...great flow and powerful wording...they come and they go...hopefully the right one will stay...

[AaronFreitas]

That is true my friend :) Thanks for your review :)

[Isabella Disney]

This is great! Written so careful, a poetic story with so much depth.

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much Isabella Disney :) Appreciate your review

I think we have been on a date. LOL and then burst into tears:) I suppose if such a fellow is happy enough alone he should stay so and not break the hearts of the unsuspecting … alas nothing is more alluring than the aloof. Romantic love is a combination of hormones and thoughts … one can address her thoughts and this may lead to the euphoric feeling of falling in love and then into a long-term attachment. Through meditation and self-awareness one can tap into the eternal and unconditional love and this might be the way to go for said gentlemen and then he can chose who he loves romantically.

[AaronFreitas]

haha we just may have been :) I wouldn't say I am happy alone... it's more about finding the right person that I need and not the first person I want. I kind of settled on someone I wanted and we were totally not compatible... so it's more about finding the right person that meets my needs and makes me happy. Also, I am in that stage where being alone I am learning more about myself so it's been interesting. I am thinking about meditation... looking for that stronger self-awareness... just may have to try it :)

[Pryde Foltz]

True happiness emanates from within … from knowing the self:)

[MissLaine]

AWWW this is so good! AND TRUE! I agree. Love can be mysterious..
I loved it. :) Keep on writing!!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you MissLaine.... you keep writing too :)

[MissLaine]

:) I will ^^

[several thousand]

What is love? You're right, it's a mysterious thing with a lot of definitions. I felt I could relate to your poem. I wonder if I really am seeking love because I seem to be constantly pushing it away... Maybe one day...
Great poem Aaron.

[AaronFreitas]

I'm still in the same boat... I want yet I push away. It happens... I guess when the right one comes along we will know :)

[Anahat]
