Love and Loneliness

Love 
"When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams."  -Dr Seuss-

Loneliness    

 “Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.” -Dag Hammarskjold-

                                       

                       Love and Loneliness 
                   
             Love is a dream
                    It holds you together
                    like a dress with a seam
                 Love is a flight 
               It can be at first sight
                                  Love is a fire
                                         A vision of beauty far fairer than sun *
                     The feeling is as though you have won
              Love is a fairytale
                                          With no criminals or jail
                       Loneliness is desperate, unhappy and stale
                          It seems like nothing from a fairytale
                           It is darkness not a flicker of light,
                           absolutely none  
                                         Wavering with its own weakness**
                         It is tired, afraid of the sun
                         It is cold it is dark
                         It is just one.
