They Learn Love From a Box

inspired by Jim Morrison

This world, so small

Our hearts, so big

 

We make so much meaning

Of such simple words

Words like love

Four letters

 

But what is its meaning?

Where does one learn it?

From a book?

On the internet?

 

To me

Looks like most

Learn it from a box

 

No one will ever know

It's so much more

The bonding of souls.

It's that feeling,

That ecstasy

That warm feeling

From a higher source

 

It's unworldly

It's to large

For this small world

To even scratch the surface

Of the meaning

 

I guess

That's why our hearts

Are so big

The emotions pour out in this piece. I love the metaphore and everything.

We learn love from a box...

Whats this box made of? Whats in the box? I would...and I know youre going to hate me for this, (or not) but I would run with the box, and let go of the wooden stanzas that follow it.
We know what love is, at least we have a perception of the chemicals that run rampant through our brains when we meet someone with whom we fall in love with.
Its a good attempt, it really is. But I want to know about this box.

A box...interesting. Anyway, this is a really cute little poem. You have one spelling mistake (to for too) that I can see, and it doesn't get in the way. Your writing doesn't move me and it's certainly not going to light the world on fire, but you competently tell your story. If you're looking for a bit more of a punch you may want to focus more strongly on a few ideas than broadly on several, and you should try to expand your vocabulary some.

"It's unworldly It's to large For this small world To even scratch the surface Of the meaning I guess That's why our hearts Are so big." Amazing lines here, I really like the overall message. Most people will toss around the word 'love' without even thinking about what it significantly means. Keep writing.
