Why does love have to be
a raging sea
angry stormclouds
or claws raking at your chest?
Why do you constantly choose
this wrath
this apathy
when you know
there is someone else
that loves you truly?
There has to be.
Why can’t love be
not a fool’s paradise,
but paradise for the wise?
Paradise for the weak
and hurting
Paradise for those
who have suffered long enough
Why is it
that you always pick
the flowerless thorn
over the thornless flower?

This gave me chills.
Your poem, a well expressed quest for true love. I enjoyed it, thanks for posting, and may you find that which we all seek, Baylee!
Thank you all very much
Indeed, why pick the "flowerless thorn"? Baylee I really like this poem, especially the part where you ask why love cannot be a "paradise for the wise". Is it maybe because we lose our heads when we fall in love?
That is a good possibility. Thank you
Falling in love is as beautiful as it is dangerous. Would be much better if we could just love without falling or being foolish.
Oh that i could give you lessons, but i would fall in love with your beautiful mind. The flower is there to attract the bee but later its petals will fall. Choose that time observe the plant and be a wise Bee by the fall.
We don't grant love, we just wait for someone to accept it.
Good write.
Some guys are just clueless. Nicely done.
You speak the truth. This made me smile
Thank you everyone
Good write. May you find your thornless flower soon.
Thank you. I hope to
