I have always written love poems,
Most of the time to pass the time,
But this time, It’s different.
This time it’s for you. And Love will never do.
Because people throw that word from line to line,
And let it line their lips, and sip wine, so devine,
And stare in your eyes and whisper, I love you.
But do they? And that is so cliché anyway,
So I let all that fade,
And instead write what’s in my head.
And since love has never truly rested there,
I’ll just write poems. And I won’t use that word,
It’s absurd to think I know what it means,
To be in love, and to be.
You see, 27 years is not very long,
And the songs I sing about despair and loss of that word…
They clutter the voice box and keep the tissue box empty.
And no real reason for it, cause it hasn’t even really existed.
So what are all these love poems for?
Show I’m sure.
Wishing I felt, the way I’ve knelt and asked to feel.
Praying for a true to life, Love Poem to write,
And maybe break your heart of steel.

A lot of truth here, Terrina... I like your embedded rhymes, and the sentiments here have been shared. Perhaps it's all in the description rather than the statement...?

Terrina -- I think you have here -- this should break his heart of steel!

:-) Thank you so much everyone, and Iliana. Why do we always want to 'like' the hard ones?

Love is more than four letters to toss around, it's a treasure to find, and enough to break a heart. But as you implied, it's a fine line and should be used sparingly.

Thank you for your poem Terrina~
I enjoyed reading your thoughts, thoroughly.

You don't really know
how proud I am of you
just now
that you are realizing all that took
me a bit longer to realize...
but eventually, and now, I have.

Keep your sights HIGH...
and go with your heart.

Terrina,
Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. I loved your writing and understand completely. You expressed this excellently.
