I Will Not Chase Love (Poem Sharing)

This is just a poem I read from somewhere around the web. I love the imaging style of it, as well as the strong undercurrents of emotion beneath. Words will always be beautiful when they come from the heart. Very heartwarming. I felt it was really lovely and should be shared out.

Interesting how our most painful moments can inspire such wonderful words.

I Will Not Chase Love

Oh how the hallowed winds stretch across the moonlit sky

Beneath a thousand twinkling stars,

And Oh how my heart sings its' heartfelt cries

Where love again has left its' jagged scars.

The resounding drops of the morning rain

that doth pour out o'er heavenly days,

remind me of my silent pain

so buried beneath my tears of haze.

Love do not find me, nor look my way..

Send no angels from above...

For my heart has died and withered away

and will not chase love.

Wind o'er my head and gentle breeze

that brings loves' arrows to send,

stay atop the evergreen trees

while this heart o'mine I mend.

Oh Love that lingers in the little streams

sparkling atop the water's glassy smile,

quench not my thirst amidst my screams

and leave me be for a while.

"No" Love, I say to Thee

and I dare not speak of,

I bid you adieu from me

For I will not chase love.

For I will not chase love.

Oh to Thee, Him who paints the seas

I kneel and pray this day,

whil'st upon my knees

to ask why Thou has me betrayed?

With your sharp tongue and fists of steel

that has pounded my heart into three,

Love has shown me that pain is real

and can conquer me.

So "No" to love I yell and fight..

For I will not chase love,

I will not waste love

I will not face love...

But for you,

for you...

I just might.
