What It Means To Love

Sitting at the white soft bench, outside the classrooms;
A calm weather; in front of the big acacia tree blooms;
Wondering of how love feels for the first time;
Why people risk their lives for their love of lifetime.

Watching the white like ice cream clouds and blue sky;
Hearing students inside laughing and babbling;
Couple white doves chirping and singing while they fly;
Sweet aroma of acacia tree; a bright sun dazzling.

Realizing that there's an unselfish humankind;
People wants to be happy; so they search for love;
Perhaps love is not meant for everyone to find;
If possible in another life; i'd love like a dove.

Some says they're scared of loving because of pain,
"it is just some drama , don't need to love in vain",
Some says "Sacrificing even if it means for their joy",
"They're just like some children finding a small toy".

I thought love is more on reciprocating;
I also believe that love is totally sightless;
But i was pulling the wrong side of a string;
Love means that loving someone priceless.

very evocative, a poignant piece, the imagery was superb

The line "Perhaps love is not meant for everyone to find;" sadness me, everybody deserves to be loved. I liked the poem

love is complicated, but when you find it, it it finds you, you will absolutely know it, feel, it ,touch it, consume it….there will always be bumps in the road but if your love is a true bond, nothing will tear it apart yet both have to give and receive …… well thought out and nicely written
Warmly, B🌷
