To Love And To Hurt

I've fallen in and out of love far too many times and so I guess it was right for me to write (hey that rhymes!) about the cycle of love.

It's like a bunch of small explosions

Coming together into one huge blast

There are times it lingers; the questions

But particularly this time, you let it pass

That's how it is in every beginning

Standing side by side, leaning to each other

Feeling invincible with one another

I remember how it all felt

I wish I could keep it wrapped in a small jar

And open it once in a while,

So I can remember you when you've grown far

Do you remember how it felt?

Now that time has aged the love we had

I look back every once in a while

And wonder why the memories make me sad

The once unforgettable blast has suppressed

To little fireworks lighting in my chest

As each burst became more silent

And the thought of you becomes violent

- I.D.

This certainly is a culmination of experience. Life is the best teacher and is somewhat different. It first takes the examination and then it teaches the lessons. This piece of yours is picturesque and overflows with smoothness and emotion. Lovely poem. Keep writing.

Thank you. Your view and input is much appreciated.
If there's one thing I learned in life is that sometimes the best lessons can only be learned from the worst experiences....but I guess you could either stay in the past or move on and hope for a better day.
Cheers! I will definitely do more writings here in the future :)

I definitely like it! Especially the second and last stanza, the emotions that you are trying to show is such a 'blast' ^_^

[Indra Dharma]

Aww thank you for such high praise and kind words! I'm more than thrilled that you felt the same emotions from reading it as I have from writing it! :)
