About Love

Let me tell you about Love,
Introduce you to how it works.
First it makes you smile and laugh,
Then it hurts…

It will make you reach for the sky,
Make you feel like a shining star.
Then it cuts your heart with a lie,
Leaves a scar…

It will make you believe in dreams,
Give you courage to face your fears.
Then it’s gone, and you want to scream,
Through your tears…

It will lift you above the crowd,
Make you special in every way.
Then as fast as a summer cloud
It fades away…

It will turn your life upside down,
It will make your past obsolete.
You will feel when it’s not around
Incomplete…

Love can fill your life with the meaning,
Love can make you wish you were dead.
Much like us it has the Beginning
And the End…

Much like us it will come and go,
Fade away like a distant song.
And we’ll never exactly know
What went wrong…?
 
Love and Loss are the twin sisters,
Be prepared to give them an oath.
To be bruised and to be blistered
Serving both…

Perfect verses! And these abruptly-rhyming lines at the end of each stanza makes the whole poem sound like a song. Exhaustedly about love! Thanks a lot!

Faithfully yours,

Thank you for your kind remark, and you are very welcome. Love is an endless source of inspiration, for everybody I guess. That's all I ever write about...;))

Sincerely,
