We do not get enough of love
seeking searching its source in vain.
Around about us below above,
its nucleus is oft hidden in pain.
Struggling to affirm its existence,
we wonder why it slithers on by;
in this feeble world with such persistence
clanging and clanking its contradictory cry.
It resonates, reverberates in amorphous space.
Painted as images or distorted form
that evolves, erodes, disappearing without trace
leaving crumpled lives; is that the norm?
Do we demand too much from love?
Is it something much simpler and demur,
bound up in the act of gentle giving.
A bilateral gift which makes it secure.
A nice poetic imagination, Tony. You may like to read my poem, Love and Lust. Thanks

In general i think we will not enough and demanding too much of something either we are looking for it or because we are overwhelm of something, and maybe if we could understand and expect what it possible to be, it will be more close to the hands to feel it wholly....because we are human, interaction is the one that make existence more real than to only heard about it :) Nice work and expression...and this is only my general idea that i get to my mind after reading your work :)
