Heavy is my heart
Hit hard by a failed romance
End of sweet kisses
Hoist the anchor now
Set sail to find another beau
Back to the action
State your aim young man
I'll fight for a new girlfriend
Surely risk my all
So those are the facts
I'll spend hours of planning
Just to win her heart
We'll make a great team
That will fix my loneliness
Or am I dreaming?
It's not about you
Woo by gentle persuasion
For she's a princess

Does love come from a determined search for a mate? Or does it just happen when we least expect it? An interesting Wordle.
ReplyDeleteI think a fight to win a heart is often in vain... I agree with Viv.. Never try too hard...
ReplyDeletePerhaps she is too high maintenance...lowly maids are often more fun..i love the imagery..always best not to drop anchor in uncertain waters
ReplyDelete"always best not to drop anchor in uncertain waters"---heehee...love this comment, Jae :-)
DeletePerhaps she just wasn't your type? Love never makes us work too hard :D Lovely write.
ReplyDeleteAh, but he needs to know that another heart cannot really cure someone's loneliness! No other person is totally responsible for someone else's well being. If I were that lass I would run away from a lad who appeared so very needy.
ReplyDeleteI agree! you can't hang happiness on another person. A great poem.
DeleteThis reads like the kind of overwhelming passion felt by a heart right after it has been broken, when things are felt way too intense to be completely clear or true...
ReplyDeleteSometimes the greatest love just happens.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture you chose Robin that goes with this poem (a bit of a fickle heart?)....perhaps you can win her heart, but I have found my heart was won by one who showed up and just loved me!
ReplyDeleteI like the closing stanzas best....yes, it is not about him, but treating her well.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. It isn't all about me,

The games we play! It is a hard game to win at --if one can win--
ReplyDeleteLove tastes best when savored in memory many years later.
ReplyDeleteSometimes one gets back into the game far too quickly when it might be best to heal first and dive back in later ;-)
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not about him, if he truly loves her. But is he just seeking to fill a void? Enjoyed reading this.
ReplyDeleteMay your heart be once again merry with a new love. You deserve someone who returns your love.
ReplyDeleteI say every woman should should be a prize; nice one Robin
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in at my Sunday Lime this week
much love...
It is going back to basics again! But this time it is more thorough with advantage of experience! Great lines Old Egg!

Is there truly a fix for loneliness?
ReplyDeleteIt's not about searching or finding someone! It's about moving on with a hopeful heart.
ReplyDeletepeople's fault could cause problems,
ReplyDeleteof course, there is imagination that takes us to a different world
