April poems: Searching...

She wandered around the city

In search of happiness

Hoping to cross path

With the kind

That would place 

Smile on her lips

The kind that would

Spark radiant light in her eyes

Or make her heart skip a beat

And fill the void in her heart

She wandered around in search 

Of the perfect happiness

Intertwined with love

While forgetting that

Our adventures

Are merely a reflection

Of ourselves...

And that before she

Can seek self fullfillment

And happiness

In the form of

everything but

Her inner self

She had to search

For self love

Deep within 

Her own heart

For her.
