When Love Says No Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

When love says no, a heart may break,
A soul may weep, a spirit ache.
A flame extinguished, a fire gone cold,
A story untold, a love untold.

The heart may yearn, the tears may flow,
A longing deep, a pain to know.
But in the depths of sorrow's night,
A glimmer shines, a guiding light.

For love's denial, though it hurts,
Can teach us lessons, make us stronger.
It shows us paths we've yet to tread,
And helps us grow, though tears are shed.

For even in the face of love's 'no, '.
Or goodbye doesn't matter,
We find our strength and learn to grow,
In realms of love, where hearts entwine,
Emotions surge, beneath the sky.

Like petals falling, dreams take flight,
In shadows cast, amidst the night.
Yet, love's essence, forever true,
Finds solace in the depths of blue.

Though paths diverge, and hearts may break,
Love's flame still flickers, awake.
In whispered secrets, memories reside,
A tapestry of love, forever tied.

So let the heart find solace true,
In love's embrace, both old and new.
For when love says no, it gently guides,
To paths unknown, where dreams reside.
