When love is not enough

gerrylegister

When in this land you have given your all,

And not think twice when someone needs forgiven,  

Love can cover the hurt every time you fall,

But bruises will be hidden beneath the vale of sin.

 

Even in death love may have its share of grief,

But that will never be enough to comfort the bereaved,

Roaming within the fate of solitude and disbelief,

The search may go on until the heart is relieved.

 

If love would have been enough to dispel all fear,

You would not be left alone with emotions and regret,

The two protagonists; they find a path more unclear,

And eyes can not see paradise where there is neglect.

 

The world we knew was once full and glowing,

But when dreams fled into streams of darker abyss,

Though time may conquer that delta force from within,

Love will never be enough without true happiness.

 

Paradise was such a beautiful place in our mind,

Exist only when we find time to go there in spirit,

On a trip; in this realm of splendid sublime,

Bliss is given to only those digging deep to find it.

 

When love is not enough, there is a place to escape,

Found in the wind that floats through the passing air,

Can we dare to go and be where those memories fade?

And fond embrace becomes the only treasure.
