In the shallowness of your ‘Love Lake’
My fortunes of subsisting are very bleak.
I can neither vie to live nor to die,
Apart from airing an unsounded sigh;
Such is the astuteness of your love.
No matter how natural I submerge in you;
I manifest myself afloat
In your superficial waters;
Rowing my emotive boat.
In the hollowness of your heart,
I exist, sating vacuum of some sort.
Being a good deal in you,
In you, I lack a space.
Oh……….what a disgrace!
No matter how sorely, my heart bleeds;
To bide with you, is what it pleads.
Convinced, I am.
No matter how many oceans, my eyes shed;
They can ne’er puff up your shoal.
No matter how many times I call up you, dame;
Your cored out heart can never echo my name.
All the same…
In the shallowness of your love,
In the hollowness of your heart,
Evermore……………I stay on.

Thank you so much, Staci. I am honestly thankful for your kind concern too. I just do not have any sad love story so just invented one in my head. It was difficult to think being in someone’s shoes 😦
Stay wonderful. 🙂

Hi Reva. I am doing fine. I am gigling. Imagining that if it was you, you might just sigh ouch…okay…then off you move on, do the painting do the writing , show your wonderful soul to us all , or eaves-dropping the coffee cups gossiping new roomers 😆. Psstt I am having tea this week so I am staring at a beautiful garden with a princess in it,;I think there is a princess . I’ll make sure of it when I get home and tell you later 😊

Oh Julia, thank you so much for the concern. Luckily, I am no more a broken soul. Im much stronger than what I expect of myself. If Im good at drowning………I’m equally good at swimming. No worries! 🙂 But if I ever get into such situation, I will always remember what you have said. Wonderful to know about the garden and the princess, Julia. Looking forward to hear more about that. Until then…………stay smiling! 🙂

So beautifully sad this poem sounds,R.
“No matter how many oceans, my eyes shed;
They can ne’er puff up your shoal.”
Lovely imagination used there.
And this line “I exist, sating vacuum of some sort.” is heart wrenching.
I hope this poem is not about you though. o.o
Great work though. I love sad poems so I was absolutely consumed by the flawlessness of it! ❤
Thanks for sharing, R! ❤
Love and blessings
