apersonaljourney – stories of love

when is the last time a tear might be appreciated

the notions such a cleansing might bring to mind

for some perhaps a reminder of a miserable day,

others have a different scope, the beauty of love

for there is this element of wonder in humanity

that which would cause the mind to real allowance

of the nature of grief and happiness in balance

both extremes contain their own merit for red eyes.

We do live in a world where an occasional love story

might be the perfect anecdote to a lacking esteem

the adage bootstraps come to mind, scares me to hell

only because sometimes I cannot reach my own toes.

Instead I might wish to live the life of one genuine

in heart and soul who knows honesty is sweet rhythm

in the greater contrast that suggests we live by a code,

and instead spend the majority of our lives breaking

any semblance of order thrown our way, though,

we all wish the passionate nature of living life.

So please why hide a good cry on a summer afternoon,

there’s a reason why love is such a shadow to be found.
