love is a Journey

Truly is something that can be found

The sun blazed in the cloudless sky,

The door bell rang and it opened itself to me when I turned the knob,

My face lit up with joy,

I did not see who it was but I know it was him,

It took a short while for me to find myself,

In the arms of whom I feared to lose to another.

It was the tear I fear to shed,

But when I lifted my eyes I saw it was not what I thought,

He sauntered down the path as I imagined,

The wind whistle and the trees sang,

As I looked on the n his face,

It was written the assurance that I always have,

The ocean's relentless waves crashed against the rugged shoreline,

Sending salty spray into the air,

Never to worry to lose to another him who I so desire to never lose.

Always in my soul have I long to hold hands with him who I cherish so dear,

As soon as I get the check of trust with,

I always fight with my heart,

To prove myself right that I was right.

It was as if I was never warned,

That falling in love with a stranger is walking over a pit overlaid with straws,

Like the failure of memory,

I hesitantly forget the warning of my beloved mum,

That love should not only be with the heart,

But I should use my head when I fall in love.

It was the magic of the healing of my soul,

So to love him like no other.

The mirror of my love was to shattered,

But he was the first of the men I ever know to love,

So cute was his smile and charming his presence was for me to abode,

Never did I realized my mirror I stare at always in my mind,

Was already shattered.

But shocked did I become when I live to so know that,

He that I long to embrace when the door I opened,

Was the chock of my life I receive when,

He stole my heart away to give grant away to an unknown alien,

Who forever I have known,

Not so sure was I when I knew.

That she has been my bosom sister,

But stole the love of my life away,

And left my mirror shattered never to be whole so soon,

Love is a journey I realized not too soon,

Else prepared would I have been,

My mirror would I have safe guard,

Shattered never would it have become,

If the heed I took.

In the pursuit of love and happiness, I h’d chosen someone who brought me the opposite – heartache and sorrow.

Now,it’s hard to begin,

Er the journey to go,

Where one can find true love,

I wonder ever if I will find.

Grateful to fate and patience I am,

So to know the love I now have,

The forest loomed like an ancient cathedral of towering trees,

Where the shadows whispered secrets among the leaves,

He values me now, even though we rarely meet,

Day- by- day I had wised I know,

Him, who now I can trust,

Whose smile is a sunbeam that chased away the clouds of my worries,

With much love never to fear,

The gain of him now I my mirror is,

Forever, I pray he should be still,

The rising sun and shining star of my life and heart,

Never to leave his presence now I pray.

His love was an unbreakable fortress, a sanctuary in the storms of life.

To enjoy the fragrance of love now and as life last.
