A Poem: Elusiveness; In Search Of Love by JohnWriter: 7:04pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
ELUSIVENESS; IN SEARCH OF LOVE I looked for you on the outside You appeared in different shades & colours Oh, I was wrong Did I expect to find you everywhere? You are beauty beneath the bones For all the times I raced for my life I imagined if I will ever find you Maybe I was not meant to find you Just maybe I do not deserve your comfort You are beauty beneath the surface I looked for you in shapes Are you that pretty face? My conviction of you is weak Maybe you do not exist anyways The world said they have you But they painted you in multiple pictures Maybe you meant different things to different folks Maybe you meant nothing to them all I asked myself Have I lost you in those multitude of faces? Have you come to me in a shape I did not desire? Your complexion was dark & fair Maybe I walked past you the other day Maybe I had you and let you slip through my fingers You should have told me it was you By: Yinka Olonode #WorldPoetryDay 1 Like |
