Fate Decreed. A Poem

I wonder if I still
Have it in me
To give my all.
I wonder if there is
Any willing
And available.

I have tried and tried
And failed and failed.
Do I have it in me
To reach out again?
Will it make me happy
Or just miserable?

Wouldn't you know
These questions are rhetorical?
Me myself and I
We will be the jury
Is there a hurry?
Perhaps as time
Keeps running
And lest I remain stationary
I will run afoul of destiny.

Ah! The ever elusive mate
Of my soul
That love songs tell me
I am owed!
Do I have it in me
For such a pursuit?
Before I get too old?
Where art thou Romeo
Or whatever incarnation
Of a name you go by?
Why is it only my fault
If we remain star crossed?
Can we take our displeasure
Up with a boss
Or authority
Up on high?
Alas my grievances
Of being lovelorn
Will be denied.
If only actions
Could be taken
By whomever
As if fate decreed.

 Even if the shield is hung above the fireplace
- even if
And we relate with one eye to the pyre of the hearth
( the other gazing inside us) hearing the winds of souls
- even when

We.Don't.Get.Old
For
“That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die”
-------------------------------------
No fate but what we make my lady
Cheers - P

 *sigh*

If you find the answer to these questions, be sure to share...I have been asking them too.

 You can hope for love, pray for love, wish for love, dream for love but don't stop living your life waiting for love. I read this quote a while ago and it came back to me after reading your poem. I like the quote and love the poem!
