i sat for hours, lost in the darkness
while sleep evaded, kept its distance
love was what i sought, but found it not
or so i thought
betrothed to one, loved by another
lost in love's cloudy deceit
while true love lay just before me
waiting for me to open to it
why do we turn a blind eye and deaf ear
why do we not see the truth before us
like a bright shining sun as we cleave to the darkness,
hoping to see yet we do not
but once my soul's eyes were turned
turned away from the light
i found what i had sought all along
waiting for me, praying i would reach out
and see the truth
true love is not always so obvious
sometimes we are meant to be blinded to it
so that when it is found, it is forever
such is this love..............

Regina,
ReplyDeleteHad a look at your poetry, and thinks it could do with some wider airing. Excellent.

I followed Guido's baton and heard your music. Somewhere in time a nightingale sings.

ReplyDeleteAnd power to your wonderful poetic 'pen' too.
