A love song

-


An innocent heart
Naive and pure
Longs for loves
Eternal glow

To be held
With tenderness
And cherished
With passions warmth

Throwing caution
To the winds
Begins a journey
Of trust

Believing it has
Found the one
A dance of bliss
Rosy countenance

Frenzied beating
Texting, meeting
A haze of pink
Surrounds everything

Very slowly 
Reality dawns
The precious heart
Is pierced with thorns

Thorns of doubt
Ego's might
Reckless words
And nothings right

The melody sours
Leaving behind
Shattered dreams
A flood of tears

    When in love, we tend to glorify certain things which when after reality dawns on us, we realize we have been such a fool.
    A very realistic and beautiful poem :)
