I’d like to love again
Days gone by in a
Conceptual state of mind
Realism my best friend 
And worst enemy

I’d like to love again
Evenings pass by in a
Manic state of mind
Memories a close treasure
And haunting burden 

I’d like to love again
Years pass by in a
Callous state of mind
Ethos my arduous procurement 
And grossly arduous to sustain

dawn-king

I'd like to love again

This has a sweet and genuine feel to it.  And it's very smart. Great writing, DK!

i'd like to love again as well. i am afraid certain phobias leave me empty & alone. i just need to develop confidence & fret less about things i will never be able to control. i can hear the weakness. a heart will find its echo. u will love again & the birds will sing.

this would make a great song... so nice to meet you and your wonderful poetry...

i think that last stanza speaks volumes......yes, love is sorely missed when we look behind us, but trepidation underscores the wounded soul.
