Oh Love
Oh love
Who doesn’t seek for love
A precious pearl
A tantalizing glow
Oh love
Were for are thou
Hard to find
Like horny toads, and blue lizards
Oh love
My quest continues
Across the sands
A seeker I am
Oh love
Will I know thee
When confronted
Or will I walk on by
Oh love
I’ll wait right here
By the garden gate
Now don’t be late
And when I’m told
You have already passed
I am waiting still
Maybe, you will come back

Oh, this waiting for love is so bittersweet — it is at once both beautiful and melancholic. I really like the "Oh Love" refrain, giving it an urgent helpless tone. The last stanza warms my heart.
This is wonderful. We are always seeking and waiting for love..........a perfect poem for Valentine's Day.
And when I’m told
You have already passed
I am waiting still
What a great conclusion!
This is an incredibly passionate poem, Annell!❤️ I so agree with "A tantalizing glow." Thank you so much for participating!!❤️
I didn't believe true love existed until I met my husband. It's real!
Love it, Annell. Sorry, I'm taken, forty-six years ago.
..
love how you concluded it...!!
It is *hard* not to refer to old songs when writing about love! I love this one, and you might enjoy trying to sing the lyrics I mashed up for my "love" piece a few years ago.
