Love's such a wonderful treasure.

It grows and blooms in floral bliss

Those blessed enough, finding it,

Should hold onto it's so brief kiss.

Never knowing when love will leave,

Never able to make love stay,

At it's mercy, becoming trapped,

By the passions it sends our way.

About the Creator

The Schizophrenic Mom

I am a mother of 2 precious angels who drive me slightly more crazy

than I already am with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

When asked "are you crazy?!" my favorite come back is:

"yes! And I have the papers to prove it! How about you?" LOL

    This is kind of a sad poem, I don't have a bolt of lightening or a blue heart, but this is sad. Never knowing when love will leave,- never getting it to stay. Nicely Done but again somewhat sad.
