Is It Love?

Again, a totally random poem, that just came to me one day. Though it is simple, I hope the meaning is deep and thoughtful...

Is it love?

Is it pain?

Why do my tears just fall like rain?

Is it hate?

Is it fate?

Do you not appreciate?

When do I,

Wake up to find,

You’re not here,

 Inside my mind?

Slowly waking,

My heart’s breaking;

Can you help me stop this aching?

Is it fear?

When you’re near?

That your face takes my breath away?

Will you stay?

Or will you stray?

Can you bear to hold my heart,

Without being far apart?

Can you leave that I not die?

Can you hold me when I cry?

Is it pity?

Is it sadness?

Can I leave you,

And have gladness?

Please don’t go,

Don’t you  know?

Will I always be alone?

Is it love?

Is it pain?

Why do my tears just fall like rain?

Can’t you see,

You belong with me?

Don’t you believe?

No need to grieve;

‘Cause isn’t it true?

That I love you?

 

 

 

Author's Note

The idea was to make a poem composed of only questions. It seemed to start out right, but there may be several lines in the poem that are statements instead of questions ^-^

I have to agree with what the others said..
An effective piece of writing you got there..
Comparing tears to the rain is a bit overused, though..
Other than that..

I think it's a nice poem..

[Fran Marie]

A well crafted poem; like the tumbling words effect one into the other

Well donE!!

[Nancy Lee Shrader]

Well done each word flowed into the next,

I agree with Augustus. It is a beautiful poem. I loved the rhyme. This poem combines the two things I like the most in a poem - rhyme, and simplicity.
It was a good idea to write a poem only of questions. But it is very difficult; even improbable. This is good enough!

I loved reading this.

[Augustus]

I think it is a beautiful poem...and the questions asked are so very natural and so very poignant. The flow is awesome and your excessive use of the rhetorical question has enhanced the force and the flow of the poem. I really enjoyed the rhyme as well. It does not seem forced anywhere...
And also, the language is simple but the emotions are strong and the meaning is crystal clear....crucial ingredients for an effective verse...
So, yeah, I liked it lots...superbly penned! :)

I love the flow of this poem! Well written and a thoroughly enjoyable read -- not to mention that it makes you wonder about the narrator a bit, what he or she is like, what happened, the such. Great idea too, btw, writing a piece composed of naught but questions. =)

So may questions in your poem we need answers for. Sometime we receive the wrong answers and must keep searching. I like the poem. The flow and story in your words were outstanding. A excellent poem.
