As my overall theme for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge April 2015 is LOVE, it was a no-brainer to choose this very word for the letter L. I'm sharing a poem I wrote a few years ago, during times when hardly a day would go by without writing a new poem.
L for Love
Love is two people respecting each other
But love is also two people blaming one another
Love is expecting wonderful things
But love is also an eagle without wings
Love is kissing the whole day
But love is also not finding the right way
Love is everything you desire
But love is also an aggressive fire
Love is two people holding each other
But love is also screaming at one another
Love is greenly growing grass
But love is also splitting glass
Love is a protecting shield
But you know love is also a battle field.
Love is…
When people say they’re happy
When people say they’re just not happy
When you could embrace the whole world
When you want to be embraced by the world
When you want to sing with the birds through the ages
When the mute birds are caught in golden cages
When the sun is shining only for you
When the moon is crying with you
When you forget all your fears
When you’re washed away by tears
When you’re watching your soul grow
When the flowers are covered by snow
When four eyes are shining bright
When two hearts are open wide.
Love is…
The only thing you want to escape
Love is…
The only thing you cannot escape
Love is…
A thousand red roses on the floor
Love is…
A thousand people walking over them
Love is…
Swimming against the current
Love is…
Standing with the back against the wall
Love is…
A tamed animal
Love is…
Wild creatures of the dark
Love is…
The bullet everybody wants to be hit by
The pencil to write your own story
A ray of light that gets you through the day
The path to success
And the path to yourself
Love is Love
But love is also two people blaming one another
Love is expecting wonderful things
But love is also an eagle without wings
Love is kissing the whole day
But love is also not finding the right way
Love is everything you desire
But love is also an aggressive fire
Love is two people holding each other
But love is also screaming at one another
Love is greenly growing grass
But love is also splitting glass
Love is a protecting shield
But you know love is also a battle field.
Love is…
When people say they’re happy
When people say they’re just not happy
When you could embrace the whole world
When you want to be embraced by the world
When you want to sing with the birds through the ages
When the mute birds are caught in golden cages
When the sun is shining only for you
When the moon is crying with you
When you forget all your fears
When you’re washed away by tears
When you’re watching your soul grow
When the flowers are covered by snow
When four eyes are shining bright
When two hearts are open wide.
Love is…
The only thing you want to escape
Love is…
The only thing you cannot escape
Love is…
A thousand red roses on the floor
Love is…
A thousand people walking over them
Love is…
Swimming against the current
Love is…
Standing with the back against the wall
Love is…
A tamed animal
Love is…
Wild creatures of the dark
Love is…
The bullet everybody wants to be hit by
The pencil to write your own story
A ray of light that gets you through the day
The path to success
And the path to yourself
Love is Love
