Love's Isolation Poem by Stan Petrovich

Love's Isolation

Rating: 5.0


In the sorrowful past,
When Love theoretically conquered all,
I found myself wandering in a forest
Of reeds, lost & unloved.

Finally she & she came along,
Marriage was in the works
But it failed miserably,
Childlessly.

I entered the stage of rebellion
(cf Camus' insightful The Rebel):
Drinking and drugging were all
I had on my hands.

Then along came my current wife
Of thirty years
And we flourished in money & timeless love.
I can watch her now, burrowed in bed.

Think of how many divorces Italian-style
Have come & gone during our time;
It is a miracle we remain together
Chained in the domain of love.

Thinking about what constitutes it
I am wont to say patience, above all patience;
And more importantly for self-preservation,
Remaining a gentleman and putting up with the flares of madness

That surely will raise its broken brain some rainy day.

Beautiful written! Nice teachings, yes indeed it is useless to loose self control, if we could keep the dignity of a gentle human heart in all times how great would be..
