Love's Complexity Poem by George Krokos

I once caught a scent of sadness blowing in the air
which smelled of love's conceit not of fragrance fair.
It affected me rather badly so that I couldn't hide
the feeling of pain in my heart there deep inside.

Like a time when something lasting is hard to keep
the harvest of love between hearts two may not reap.
True love is a call to sacrifice all for one's beloved
a challenge and offering that can't be safely recovered.

If one follows a particular course without any real distraction
one reaches the goal or end that ensures complete satisfaction.
There's a great similarity where the path of love is concerned
that any falling out by either one and both lovers get burned.

As love has many aspects or sides to it that are very hard to comprehend
a strong disagreement or misunderstanding may cause the loss of a friend.
When true friendship is involved though and mutual interest is maintained
there always tends to be a reconciliation and the bond of love is sustained.

This gives credit to the saying that 'true love will always find a way'
the dying embers of love in the lovers heart's will re ignite some day.
As love is the feeling of oneness between people of the heart and mind
we should know that to give and receive in love is of a universal kind.
