What Is Love?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A black and white mind has images of love dancing about

Brings a breath of warm sunshine to sullen land

A spectrum of color splashs upon blank canvas

Fills a life with glorious array of wonderment

 

Does love last a brevity of time?

Or does it stick around?

An empty heart that has never felt love wants to know

What is love?

 

A wrath of a hand

Lips of hateful words

Evil eyes that despise what they see

A black and white world with no color

 

She looks around and see smiling faces

Laughter bubbling in the air

Hands embracing

Lips softly speaking, I love you

Is that love she wonders

 

A world of color filled with love seems out of reach

She lives in black and white

Watches as love colors every one but her

She is alone and confused

What is love?

this sounds like a person who had never known true love. someone who has only seen brutality and not felt the compassion and gentleness of love and the other emotions that come with it. I like the way you have expressed this.

[Dark Empress]

I really liked it, very nicely written.

[Star Wolf]

Sad and painful to be in her situation. Sometimes its so hard to let go and the pain then just goes on and on.

[Tina Kline]

This is really good. The question in it probably hasn't ever really been truly answered. Love is many different things. Sometimes someone has love and doesn't even know it...many just know they lack what ever love is.

I really wonder what love is also.
You penned out your message well.

This is awesome!!!

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

A question that is as eternal as anything there is..... I loved the questioning here...very nice :)

[Jeremy Baker]

Sometimes it's hard to know if I'm falling or stepping in love! Great poem, really made me think and ponder, beyond the usual clichés. Great work.

I think a lot of people do not know what love is. That is just my opinion but I think everyone's ideas are different. It sounds crazy but if we stop to think about it we have a idea implanted in our heads. Anyway...^^* This was interesting.
