Love- is not painful by nature
Human perversion does that
Taking away its unique beauty
In order to claim ownership
Of love itself, all that it derives
Crudely etching one’s inscription
Across some fabric of delusion
Pain itself is discreetly infused
When the enchanted emotions
Of love is discolored, then abused
Only those who wish to misuse love
Would dare promote its wreckage
As being a necessity in loves quest
When the truth is, love only- loves
And humans, well they do the rest
Lust is who wears that false face
The true thief, of human hearts
Boldly stealing what otherwise
It could never obtain- or touch
Dragging us all most unwittingly
Into depths of sheer darkness
After tethering our deep fears
Submerged, we’re wet embers
It is there, in that dark palace
Where we are left abandoned
Far from where love intended
And the only thing we dare rein
Is our own infected imagination
Whilst our hearts beat onward
Its distinct song in silent hope
Our true lover will come along
And rescue us and truth of…love

I agree there is nothing painful about love. It’s a wonderful and positive feeling. It’s kind of like saying there is sadness in joy.

“He was still silent about the images he saw behind his closed eyes. It seemed as if he loved this pain, that he loved her as he had loved me, very much, until he died perhaps, and that now he preferred her to me.” – Marguerite Duras, “The Lover”. Your poem reminds me of this quote … it makes more sense within the context of the book 🙂

A fine complement indeed, Thank You. I would’ve responded earlier to you but no internet for 20 hours followed no electric for 16 hours.
