I THOUGHT I MUST GIVE UP ON LIFE

I thought I must give up on life
And turn into a stone;
The desert wind quite suited me:
No heart, no mind--just bone.
I thought it would be dumb to try
To want something again;
Wanting turns to need, and then
Transmogrifies to pain.
I laughed at people still in love
Who trusted someone's word;
To make my happiness depend
On faith seemed quite absurd.
I lay alone and wonder-struck,
Sleepless in my bed,
Still numb, still dumb, still ice, ice cold,
Not knowing I was dead.
And then you came and shone upon
My meadow full of snow,
And saw the flowers only love
Could recognize and grow;
And made me feel so beautiful
I shed my cold, cold skin,
And opened up my heart to you,
And, fearful, let you in.
And now, my dear, I am in love,
With all that I've been through.
I know the worst of all the world,
And I believe in you.

Love has its reasons with which
reason knows nothing of.
Very good poem! I'm happy that you're
in love! I have a few love poems myself.
Believe me, I know the feeling.
Keep writing and I'll keep on reading.
