Cruel Irony Of Love Poem by Rick Elpers

Is the reality of love
Nothing more then a cruel joke 
Played on us by god
To plant in our hearts
This beautiful weakness 
Oh sorrow in the soul
Your tears in my eyes drowning
Me under the longing for more
Oh the saddness I suffer 
Of the lost beauty in my life
That you bestowed upon me
For the season of being 
In love with you
My heart heard the desire 
And is forever that I meet you
That you met me smiling
With the gladness of such
A wonderful future 
Of knowing unknown 
Days ahead and where we will 
Be lead if anywhere
