Love Sighted But Not Verified Poem by Raj Dronamraju

Love sighted through an opening in deep forest
A blur that moves quickly and vanishes
But leaves a lasting impression

Love sighted from a lakeside hilltop
Stands out as not part of the normal environment
Dives out of sight as soon as it knows it's being watched

Given proof of love as states entered into that cannot be shared through conversational rapport
Their uniqueness grabs the listener's attention but not their ability to relate

She verified that he was real
Owned a second hand automobile and his parents were divorced
He verified that she looked like the photo she sent him

Their reminiscences will be met with skepticism from the self-defeating onlooker
Who would not recognize love if it was standing in front of him
