I Knew Not Where Love Was Sold? Poem by Seema Aarella

I Knew Not Where Love Was Sold?

Rating: 3.6


I bought some flowers
Lovely bright
With hue and tint
Blended right
Gave a penny
To vendor old
But I knew not where love was sold?

I bought some chocolates
Sweetie delight
Soaked in honey
Feast for sight
Wrapped in silver
And foils of gold
But I knew not where love was sold?

I bought an outfit
Silky white
With pearly beads
Hemmed tight
The perfect fit
Each pleat and fold
But I knew not where love was sold?

I bought a card
With a love quote
Just as I thought
Someone had wrote
On a red heart
In letters bold
But I knew not where love was sold?

I bought a dinner
‘Candle light'
Sparked talk
On winter night
Bodies warm
Heart but cold
But I knew not where love was sold?

as much as i know love means only giving away.. selling reflects like a give n take thing.. anyways well penned the piece.. nice flow of words.

for all i know love can't be bought or sold though it has been made into a commercially viable product...

Seema, this is such an amazing write, familiar images. longing for a soulmate, we wait...an eternal quest. you have brought out the loneliness with such poignancy.the images only add to the pathos of the last lines.10 goes to my fav list Mamta
