Love is Love

A Poem by Mercury Mirrors

This is inspired by "Valerie's Autobiography" My favorite scene from my favorite movie in the world, "V For Vendetta" It makes me cry every single time I see it...& I've watched just this scene 6 times in a row just now...So I'm ba

Two has always been better than one.
But two of the same isn’t right to some.
It’s a sad little fact, but painfully true,
That I could be hated for loving you.
 
The only difference is in gender,
A kiss is still a kiss, still warm & tender.
Just because we have the same parts,
Doesn’t give them the right to keep us apart.
 
It doesn’t give you a right to stare,
To shoot someone self-righteous glares,
Only justified by what we know to be the norm,

But love is still love, no matter the form.

That scene is utterly touching. I remember first seeing it and finding myself sobbing; the music, the colors, the inspiration and then the sad ending. I read the book and the story is just as sad and beautiful in print as in celluloid. (Hail, V, I love thee)

Thanks for writing this. There are those who need more voices - voices like yours - to wipe away the hate from this word.

(Congrats on the award!)

Best,

This write has a soft ethereal in its flow but voices a poignant undertone of a discouraged heart. I think you drove the message home quite well. I would consider removing 'what' from the last line. Read it aloud and see how it sounds - "Love is still love, no matter the form" - If you're not inclined to agree, 'tis all good.

This is really beautiful! Love is a wonderful thing and should be shared by everyone who is willing to give it, regardless of gender! This poem does a great job capturing the idea that two people should not be isolated or considered "wrong" for loving each other, especially in a world where this is so little love, anyway. ;-; Oh, and I love the movie "V For Vendetta" & that scene is gorgeous. Great job! (:

Wow, this piece is fantastic! You covered such a touchy subject in few words, yet the point is made clearly. It flows very well also. Thanks for sharing

A very touching poem and I agree with you. Love is love. If we find real love that makes us lucky. Your poem is warm yet it is also very strong. I like it very much. It is easy to read and gets right to the point. Too bad the world can find reasons to hate love.
