I've never believed in love.
Never found it possible,
Never found it satisfying,
Perhaps I was too naïve,
Too confused,
Too scared.
Or perhaps all three.

But things are different now,
I've found something wild,
Untamed and
Undefeated.
I am unsure when I stumbled upon it,
Or when your eyes first met mine.

All I know now is this is real.
Genuine.
Sweet and pure.
Like fresh honey.
Sometimes, a person has to
Endure some bees,
Get stung a little,
To reach something worthwhile.

Sometimes,
A person has to walk through a desert
To reach their ocean.
One has to fall a little,
Before they can fly.
Yet everyone has to fight a little,
In order to die.

I never believed in love.
Never found it reachable,
Never found it fulfilling,
Maybe I was childish,
Or too naïve, or too scared,
Probably all three.
But not anymore,
Because you've changed me.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Oh My! WOW This is really good, I love the examples that you put in and how you started and ended, both were awesome,... Though I must say I still can't pretty much believe in it, but that's just me LOL... This poem is Amazing.
