Love is an illusion

Love is an illusion

My heart is as pure as that of a child

My passion is hot and my temper is mild

I do have love in abundance

To share it with you, I have no resistance

Then why can't I find someone to love me?

A special lady to set my emotions free

To open my eyes and let me see

How wonderful life could be

Am I destined to spend my life alone?

Waiting day and night beside my phone

Hoping a nice lady may give me a call

Asking me, in love with her, to fall

Inviting me to a dancing hall

Falling in love for me is nothing but an illusion

That is my only and final conclusion

The poem was written beautifully yet left me feeling sad. Maybe one should not wait by a phone? If they are interested then maybe they should call? What would be the worse to happen? The person might not receive you as you wish.

You never know the one you are waiting to call just might be shy. I have not found love in quite sometime. Yet in every part of my being I know it is not an illusion. It is beautiful

Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment.
It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.

I agree with the ladies - love is not an illusion, it is the only real thing in our lives - the rest is illusion. “I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.” (Shana Abe). Wake up knowing he or she is there for me - how nice! Wish you luck in finding your true love and happiness, dear poeet! Loved the poem, kindest regards!

Aren't we all looking for connection to find another who completes us ? Some lovely sentiments expressed here in comments quite moving and true .

Every illusion is one of fear whatever form it takes. The attempt to escape from one illusion into another must fail.
If you seek love outside yourself you can be certain that you will perceive hatred within, and are afraid of it. Yet, peace will never come from the illusion of love but only from its reality.
