Revelation
I just realized
love does not exist.
It is an illusion,
a dark shadow of a foggy mist.
What we feel
we think is real
is just a dream,
a scar we wait for our hearts to heal.
Fluids we pass
between succulent reds,
making love,
all a pretense to get in our lover’s beds.
For thousands of years
we lived and lied,
making up fairytales
for lovers of lovers who selfishly died.
What do we see
when we think it is the one?
We only see our lives,
passing by the chance of having fun.
It is only to get
those two drops that must
mingle and play
in a moment of joy of earthly lust.
It was never to live
happily ever after.
It is always for this day.
Foolishly our lust we had to master.
I just realized
I need to live.
A revelation
that my love I don’t need to give.

Thank you… although I wasn’t aiming to provoke… however some need to be provoked on the ass so they can wake up

I will see you someday Sam as you are to be and never search for what was...sometimes love is letting go... when someone needs to fly...chained to a promise and memory I fail to see what is shining in front of me...the truth of it will outlast what is temporary...I have loved and been loved for who I am finally I am terribly scarred emotionally I don't wish to cause others pain but I do...Sam walk in the sun and know you are loved in the way I can love.

Nice Flow and I love this stanza.
Fluids we pass
between succulent reds,
making love,
all a pretense to get in our lover’s beds.

Gaaahd I love this write, the certainty in your voice is piecing throughout.
"It was never to live
happily ever after.
It is always for this day.
Foolishly our lust we had to master."
^^^^^^^^^ this right here is literary gold.

Re. Revelation
We feel sad for we do not know what Love really means,
We still confound Love with fun, joy, carnal pleasure, we only give very narrow scope to a sacred emotion, a heavenly devotion to mortal beings, prone to commit crimes; betrayals, and then we blame them for being roug careless; numb and heartless,.and unfaithful.We are human beings flaws are our human signs, or else we be angels, and thats wrong to judge an angel...........
We are parts of the love that is whole when we are together, and by thinking selfishly; then, we won"t feel Love forever....
Let's start by thinking about all the other sides that we think we Love, and be in their skin, then look at our selves from that angle.and judge the situation.The heart must stay under brains control in any given situation.that's the motto we must adopt.
Good one Sam, we have first to study the feeling then give judgments..
'' Still Love does exist in anything '' just look around.

I dont think love is meant to be understood... if it was the world will be in peace. so we struggle and the world continues to be in war

A write to ponder about. Had to reread a few times to let it sink in.
It's something I wonder about, is love is real or is it just a bunch of chemicals?

This shows that you ave a heart.
Fairytales and fantasy may not be read as anything other than a trip down a false path but remember Shakespeare described ages ago the wealth of describing love, hate, death, life and so much else as have all the great and lesser poets.
You are on the same planet with your descriptive writing both poetic and prose.
Your imagination means your heart cannot be truly broken if only for a short while.
Trust me that at my age I have not lost the ability to love nor to I want to but these days a response or any reaction is rare and in short supply.

I don’t know how to react to that… except to say thank you for a great comment …

I can relate to your words very much. This is the way some people go. Sometimes we look for happiness and all we find is misery and pain. Maybe one day it will all seem worth it. For now I'm enjoying to be so free. This is a very thought provoking poem. Well done!
