Quest for Elusive Happiness

love has everything to do with it

Cheeres, William! I agree 100%. Love has everything to do with everything.

I love your creativity. The message along the left is so important, to truly love completely you must learn to love yourself. But I could also feel the intense sadness, heartbreak, and loneliness in your words. The quest for love can be a difficult one and a love lost can be the most painful of all. Incredible writing with so many messages contained within about the trials, difficulties, and love in relationships.

Thank you so much, Kristina. I am thrilled that you appreciate all the messages in the piece. Loving oneself is so important to maintaining sanity in the game of love. It took me years to understand that happiness is a choice and that I can't make that choice for others. You're an inspiration, my goddess friend❣🌹

I'm also on this quest..... the ability to love myself well is usually quite elusive indeed.
Beautiful write, very creative and... sad. 😥

K, I truly appreciate your comment and I am ecstatic that you enjoy the poem. We are kindred in our quest for self love. Believe me when I say you are an anazing, multi talented lady.❣🌹

Great. If you can't love yourself, you can't love anyone. I love your mixed feelings and ultimate rest with self love. I have yet to read your poetry.

Kris.

Thank you so much, Kris. Amen to your assessment of loving oneself. I am glad for your visit and wonderful comment.

Dear GW,

Every line a poem unto itself. Creative and encouraging and downright lovely poetry.
Naturally, I wouldn’t dream of playing favorites but if I did this line was fabulous. “ use subterfuge in lust-driven pursuit”. Standing ovation.

Dearest, Honoria
You have the unique quality of truly lifting my spirit with each word of your comments. I am psyched that you enjoyed the piece and especially the passage you reference.❣🌹

My lovely lovely friend, - 🐻 💞  
There are times when losing sight of just how truly amazing and incredible you are can wreck terrible havoc on a mind body and soul. Retaining and continually practicing self love is a lifelong process, in my opinion. It's a struggle some days... There will always be challenges and issues to overcome within longstanding loving relationships that might cause self doubt to sear, deep.... However, it's those times that we must dig in and find that inner badass (who sometimes can get lost in mundane BS.) that IS fully committed to love of self, possibly allowing for a much needed reminding...  
Please know that you have a particular BRILLIANT luster, dear poet. You're a SUPERNOVA.... always.  
 
This acrostic really hit me hard, with it's smart, moving, raw but tender openness...  
Just, outstanding, BB....sincerely.  
 
Much love and deep respect - 💙

Wow...I am speechless. Lady Blue.  Your tender heart makes me feel so accepted and cared for. You are marvelous poet...and a bright star in my sky. Thank you so much sweet goddess, BB❣🌹

sigh.

Amazing rhyme / rhythm.

As for the message, it speaks for itself. :) the path to love that resounds seems endless, love unreachable, yet... it is there. only, various lessons stand in between, sometimes it is very boring to go through this

Aaron, I am thrilled with your hopeful response. I am glad that you enjoy the poem.
