I Wish I Could Poem by Romeo Della Valle

I Wish I Could

Rating: 5.0


I wish I could untie my hand, set it free,
So that if you offered yours again to me
I could accept your proposal knowing that
Our relationship was not ambiguous...

I wish I could open the valves of my heart
And let the love I harbor pour freely out
And cleanse those wounds
That have not mended rightly
Scarring me visibly with melancholy...

I wish my poetry had the potency
To convince you that I love you truly
And that the very place where all things must end
Is the place most likely to begin again...

But, I do not wish to undo what I have done
Because from mistakes made I have also grown
And struggled for wisdom that is essential
To capacity for higher potential...

I wish the greatest wish of all, for true love
For this I have waited to know when it comes
It shall be genuine and not misleading
Candid, not disguised-playful, not deceiving...

we all need to make mistakes, so when we do get it right we know it's right. A great poem.

True Love is as much a fairytale as real. It's of both of what we dream of having. And when we have it sometimes we don't even know we do. A surreal feeling is that of true love. Just the words coming out of my mouth bring a feeling of happiness I have yet to feel. I think at one time I was their. But now its gone and I have nothing to which it compares. Some say your lucky if you even find it once. Going after seconds odds become astronomical of finding it yet again. Yet I continue the search knowing I might meet the futility of it. But I can't know what is in vain and what is not. So regardless I will always give this all I got. Some say it is certain but is it even after death. A loss of someone so young. A life so precious suddenly gone before you even get to experience its full potential. My question is how does grief effect true love?
