Searching... Poem by Raouf Reda

Searching... Searching under star lit skies
In beseeching search of simple love am I.
Endlessly seeking a little love for my heart
Without the knowledge of where to start.

Blindly stumbling I enter into night again
Wondering if my searching is all in vain.
Just a touch of a hand... maybe a word said
And my heart out of loneliness can be led.

If only I could see... if only I could hear
A few words of love and not the echoes of fear.
Is my searching... my anticipation in vain?
Shall I ever come to know... feel love again?
