Finding Love from Within

For so long I have sought, the key to break this lock

Always searching as the clock goes tick and then goes tock

But I have not found that which I seek

A love so earnest, in a world so bleak

~

But when will I find my true love?

I’m pining and hoping it will be sent from above

Life it seems though has different plans

Will I be with a woman or with a man?

~

So much confusion, so much to consider

What must I do to make love come hither?

And yet I must accept with much grace

That I have not yet found my will or my place

~

But that is okay, because I am fine

I know in my heart, I will find love divine

Because I’m aware, with my heart beating fast

And my desire laid bare, and a longing that won’t pass

~

That love must start with a love from within

A wellspring of passion, from self-love it begins

I approach Valentines with a heart feeling free

I rest assured in my heart lies the key
