Great Love Stories...

Great Love Stories...

A Poem by Cristina E. MCcombs

They write great stories about love
About sacrifice
About the sacrifice of love
Millions of pages filled with brokenness
Romeo and Juliet parished for their love
Cleopatra and Mark Antony broke rules for their love
Tristan and Isolde they rooted for their love
Orpheus and Eurydice ran for their love
Odysseus and Penelope waited for their love
Salim and Anarkali started a war for their love
Rachel and jacob worked hard for their love
John Lennon and Yoko Ono protested for their love
Adam and Eve Deified God for their love
All forbidden
All great
All tragically beautiful
I wanted our love to be carved into stone
Everywhere, widely known
But like every infamous love story
Ours too will end tragically.

What can love do to the surface of our hearts? Oh nothing but scratch the paint off, grab a roller and coat it in pink, blue, red, green, see all the colors come and go from your heart. Love? Just another Fairy tale
