Love For Dummies Poem by Jennifer Sol

Love For Dummies

1. It’s hard, harder than that trig final
Hard enough to make you
Want to give up
Hard enough
Not even the greatest of all philosophers
Would understand the sheer pain
And toil it takes to be in love, per say

2. You cannot choose
The one which your heart desires
It is not your choice to make
Your two souls
Will dance a dance so lovely
Or cry a tear so delicate
Drawn together
Or Pulled apart
By forces unknown
And it is whom your soul chooses
That will be your love

3. No one can hand you love
On a silver platter
It is not created
Nor destroyed
Merely given and taken away
And given again
But to another

4. In the end, the result
Is beautiful
It has the beauty of
A thousand rainbows
But, if this beauty should
Go awry
Be prepared for tumultuous pain
