Where is Love?
Is love a place
Where people go to find lovers
Others who feel what I feel in my heart?
Perhaps an island for lonely souls
Or maybe a secret space to sneak away
Meeting a forbidden sweetheart
Who wants to discover it's true meaning?
Does everyone want this just as I do?
Or am I alone with nobody home
To live not knowing if this feeling is real?
Is it all just a trick of the mind
Played on me by my own darker side?
Should I be asking what is love
Instead of where, or maybe when or who?
Do you feel the way that I do?
Maybe I was meant for you...

Great question. I would not know unfortunately. I believe everyone deserves a shot at love. Nice thinking piece.

some say 'Love is where you find it.' - sounds like making do to me - I now view love as negative unless I can find somebody that can love me the way I would love them - hard to find :-(
excellent thought provoker :-)

Re. Where is Love?
Honestly, finding someone to love is easy. Finding someone worth loving is a little harder, and finally, finding someone who loves you back is the hardest. Everyone deserves to be loved. I hope whoever your muse was for this poem is respectful and deserving. Love is precious and most people don't recognize that. Best of luck, I enjoyed this poem a lot.

Re: Re. Where is Love?
Thank you for the very kind comment Jess. Alas, except for the final two lines, I was just philosophizing with no-one in mind, just thoughts on love as a concept. But at the end I had a sudden thought about someone who has recently touched my heart. It will never come to fruition, but the thought brought a smile to my face anyway... J
Oh, and thank you for the RL add!...
