Skeptic On Love
By Katie (9-2000)

In the silence I sit and murmur to myself
This must be wonderful, It must be grand
As I envy a couple walking
Hand and hand
Twisted fate hath sent me here
To die alone and wallow with fear
When shall love light my heart
When my mind has strayed
Or when death do we part
The organ breathes with blood
Yet this is what symbolizes love
Hate a dagger and peace a dove
Stranger still is how we sleep
Wrapped in blankets we dream
And these dreams do seep
Into our minds how life should be
Princesses, ponies, and puppies of three
Yet what of the nightmares
What terrors await us when we crawl into bed
Screaming from hell and into your head
But these are not the visions of lovers
Or children tucked safely under woolen covers
Only for the skeptics, the sinners, and others
Do these dreams blacken dreadfully
Once it was thought that love was a sin
But now the loveless seldom do win
Those who do not have one to have and to hold
Must be rejected poor souls who wind up tired and old
A carriage passes me and I turn my head
A bride and a groom blushing red
Two doves above tear at my heart
As I sit alone with no where to start
This must be wonderful, It must be grand
To have someone to sit and hold my hand

Never assume my poetry displays my current disposition or my particular
view. The view of this poem is that of a skeptic on love. Written in

I'm a skeptic of everything, this rocks.

Thanks my friend

You express yourself well and that shows in your poetry.

I’ve never known love
I’ve heard many say that love is the purpose of life
makes me wonder why I bother to live at all
money can’t buy you love
but that doesn’t mean that it’s free
it simply means that you can’t make it happen
love is like lightening
you either get struck or you don’t
and there’s not much a person can do to cause the lightening to strike

Abra, that is a prime example of a skeptic on love.

However, I doubt this view is your own outlook on love. A man with mind
in physics & science knows better how lightning works.

I think he is just asking to get zapped.

Loving someone is easy.

Finding someone who wants to be loved is a whole differnet story.

Whether this was written today or 10 yrs ago it is still a fine piece of
work.

Thank you Gryphyn





Abra...staying on the topic at hand I see.

There are so many different levels love can be viewed upon. Break it
down into a matter of protons, electrons & nuetrons...the theory of
attraction is simple.

Yes, waiting to get zapped...LMAO. Perhaps you need a bigger lightning
rod, no pun intended. Hugs abra! You know I am just joking!

A bigger lightening rod?

Hmmmm?

Maybe I shouldn't be deleting all those spam emails I get huh?
