Some people may seek,
a path to the heart.
Their journey is long
and rough from the start.
Most people may seek,
the path to the womb,
their journey is short and easy,
out of the womb to the tomb.
Followed a divine instinct,
followed a path to thy heart.
blurted out my feelings,
something that was not smart.
Trod this path unrelenting,
the path was unclear.
forgot about myself completely,
and my ego, pain and fear.
She beckoned me to follow,
a path to the promised land.
What I could not realise was
the mystery of her shifting stand.
Why did she discontinue?
Was it her fear of strife?
That made her ignore love,
it being the reality of life.
My dreams are shattered,
and I am standing alone.
In cold, dark, and pain,
I can't trust anyone again.
Nevertheless, I must continue
on the path we saw together.
Whatever may come along
is a sweet reminder about her.

- Comment from author about the poem: For many people romance is meant only to secure physical intimacy which is described as path to the womb.... This path is short in learning, from womb to the tomb meaning from the birth to the death. Whereas the path of the heart is longer and more for learning as one feels love. The poets irrespective of pain wants to continue on that path because even the pain reminds him of love.

'never, say never
just hope for another
and strive, to do better
if your gifted a new lover...'
thanks for sharing
True. Love is a force that binds us, we just play roles, love is eternal.
