I do believe in love.
And love is just a deception,
For one who detest the restraints
That lie in affection.
Lust, however, is found in abundance,
In a smile that is so devoid of sincerity
And in a touch that is all but benign:
But, oh, who knows what lies in love,
Until thee meet the pair of eyes
In which, thee will safely resign.

Quivering_Quillabout 11 years agoA poem that has much potential. There are some rough moments and when comparing one must always deal with the Perception and the Deception, just like the correlation between Lust and Love.

SweetOblivionabout 11 years agoThis does, however, need considerable work to be fit for purpose. The first stanza almost works - some thoughts to improve the scansion:
I believe in love.
And love is just deception,
I detest the restraints
That lie in love's affection.
The second stanza has some very clumsy lines - line 5, 6 and 7 all grate and in the final couplet, if you must use antiquated terms, use the correct form: would be thou meets (I think) in the penultimate verse.
Sweet O.
