The Kingdom of Love
Folder:
Wrestling With Happiness Earth, that green place of your birth,
It is here that you devote yourself to your infatuations.
Perhaps you are fond of a certain hobby.
Perchance you enjoy the company of another.
Whatever it may be, keep it in mind
That it does not matter what urges you along.
Why is this?
What makes this true?
The answer is this-straight and simple:
Love, sweet love, makes the world go around.
Yes, all of these splendid things make people happy,
Each of them create a contentment that is without comparison.
Individuals need something to be devoted to.
This passion carries them along.
Lack of this can ruin a life,
Direction gives satisfaction.
However, the next time you are bored, ask yourself
“Am I jaded, or is boredom my state of grace?”
BEAUTIFUL

"Individuals need something to be devoted to.

i really like that line, and i agree with it as well.
this was a very well written poem.
i can only imagine what awesome work you could do if you stepped outside of such a strict form...2 lines, space, 2 lines, space...
