Known Love Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Mysterious it is,
To have a known love experienced.
With two hearts convinced,
Everything done will prevent one to crush...
The other when love for one another,
Seems to be beyond just lust.
But...
It happens.

A few immediately choose denial.
And those among the few,
May have feelings that are suicidal.
Or keep aspects of this hidden unadmitted.
To drug to numb their minds,
With hopes to leave heartbreak behind...
Even though the effects with tears wept,
Is difficult to accept as a love left rejected.

Mysterious it is,
To have a known love experienced.
With two hearts convinced,
Everything done will prevent one to crush...
The other when love for one another,
Seems to be beyond just lust.
But...
It happens and often unexpectedly.
