What Is Love?

Love is like a crystal
Its beauty outshines the rest
So enchanting is its demeanor
But it's just like glass
And can slip from your hands
Leaving shattered hearts.
Love is like grains of sand
Soft and pure
Innocent and white
Easy to obtain
Yet difficult to hold on to
As it falls through your fingers.
Love is like water
Clear, warm and refreshing
A vital essence of life
But always changing
Prone to freezing
And tends to drip away.
Love is like a flower
Blooming in the spring
Elegant and delicate
But when dark nights
And icy winds approach
It can shirvel up and die.
Love is like the sun
Bright and cheerful
Warming every soul
Yet sunshine does burn
Leaving marks or scars
If you get too much.
Love is an essence of life
Blooming in the spring
Shining in the sun
Clear like water
Soft like sand
Keeping us all alive.

You only live once so live it to the fullest..
Love comes and goes but friends stay for ever~!~!~!~!~!

Wow, that was very vivid. I loved the part: "Love is like a crystal
Its beauty outshines the rest
So enchanting is its demeanor
But it's just like glass" Nice job!

Yes I am going to have to agree that the summary of the whole poem at the end was very nicely put. Good job on this one.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
