City Of Love Poem by Jennifer Sol

Ah, the city of love
You cannot find it
On a map
For it is located
Within the very
Core of you: your soul
It’s streets are ribbons
It’s gardens luscious
It’s mystery inviting
Lay in your lover’s arms
Forever
You need nothing but love
If you have love
Here you will thrive
Without love
You will cross the bridge
Into an ugly world
Where the faces
Are blackened with soot
Worn down with unease
But on occasion
There are those
Who find love
In even the darkest corner
These are lucky
And the fire of love
Which burns
In the city square
Shining bright for all to see
Guides them home
Across the bridge
And into their
One true love’s arms
Where they stay
Cocooned in bliss
Ah, the city of love
Where
Love is all you need
