Love Poem: Situations

Situations

Flattery lightens the mood 
and turns black roses pink, 
while hearts get carried away 
when love is expressed in ink.
Sweet words when acknowledged 
will make your mind blink, 
but a pure soul 
when duly ignored 
in sadness it will sink. 

Cheerful the heart would be 
enduring its lovers pain, 
and gloomy the mood would be 
in dreams of sullen rain. 
Sometimes the mind is stubborn 
and unwilling to obey, 
no matter how hard you try 
in emptiness it will stay.

Words of love 
when truly spoken 
will hit you like a dart, 
and newly couples 
do seek romance 
but don't know where to start. 
Dust is rather teasey 
on days when winds will blow, 
and faults in rusty hearts 
with time will surely show.

Being an honest person 
the truth I always told, 
but I only found solace 
in hearts of solid gold. 
Hard work and perseverance 
did make my dreams come true, 
but envious friends 
without a doubt 
would deem the facts untrue.

Plunging into an abyss 
shall not resolve my day, 
but flashing onto my worthy deeds 
will help me find my way. 
Today I may prevail 
and set my own domain, 
but one day I shall regret 
good deeds gone in vain.
