love is 

       a river,

 winding 

       through 

the forest,

                with sharp turns

And 

       steep 

                 inclines.

It’s rough and 

Full of r~a~p~i~d~s,

Easily  

                                                                                                     lost in.


ᴊaggǝd       cliffs


and bro  ken  bran  ches

int er rupt 

the peaceful flow.

Sometimes it's smooth and clear. 

 


Or it drops

quick and violent,

D am   agi

ng ev  ery 

th ing

In its path.


it may dry up,

Or         get                 lost                 in                              seemingly                        endless               woods.

But if you just 

         keep going

                 forward 

                     someday 

                         you'll find it.


The author's comments:

Until very recently, I had a very strong distaste for poetry. I never understood it, I wasn't good at writing it, but my freshman literature teacher helped me learn to appreciate the simple yet so vastly complicated word that is poetry. He encouraged my writing and gave constructive criticism that helped me grow as a writer. This poem tells a message that I think can be very comforting to my fellow hopeless romantics. Hope you enjoy!
