Love's Many Concerns by Jeffrey ParrenEven though you might share
common needs and desires,
it does not mean a connection
will be made, wish as you may.
It would seem, through my toils,
that so much luck and chance
goes into making a lasting
relationship that I'm hopeless.
The girls I give attention to can't
(or won't) do unto me and I suppose
vice versa. Where and when
does this get any easier?
I can feel the energy of love within,
fighting as it might to get out
sparing no cause and no pride
letting out loud its desires.
But my mind must filter that energy,
use it sparingly, for giving too much
might scare love off, especially when
energies do not match.
I guess this is more of a journal
than a poem, but the thoughts are me,
and I cannot forget who I am at any time,
for maybe love is just around the way. 03/09/2007 Author's Note: This sucks...the poem and life right now.

Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 03/10/07 at 04:56 AM Yeah, I hear you. And though I think I like other two more, I have to admit, I still think this one's got some good stuff going for it. Epecially the tone you suddenly take on in the third stanza. I don't know quite how to describe it, but there's definitely a change there. A good one, too. |
