Just a Poem

Broken to pieces. Why do I love him? No one knows. Sometimes you don't need a reason to fall in love.

It comes unseen,

like a fold that drifts our

sight away.

It comes unheard,

like a water which locks

one's hearing.

It comes without a scent

like a perfume without

a fragrant.

It comes like a dart,

that slowly kills

and shatters our hearts.

To our senses, never felt.

To heart, a token fire.

Mouths have spoken,

Hearts have reasons which

reasons can not

understand.

Author's Note

I've heard the last lines somewhere, just couldn't remember where or from whom that's why I don't know whom to credit.

This piece gave me a smile. It reminded me of Neruda's Sonnet XVII:
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way"
Regarding your author's note, it's a paraphrased from Blaise Pascal's "The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing".

The simple word choices in this piece creates deeper impact.

Wow, I can totally relate to this poem. This is my first time reading any of your work and I am thoroughly impressed. You have done such a lovely job with your description of your heartache. You use enough examples to compare to the way you feel. The title kind of threw me off when I started reading the description, the poem, and the author's note. Maybe a different title would be appropriate for this poem. However, this is yours and you can keep this however you wish to. That is just a suggestion. You are right. Falling in love with a person sometimes does not need a legit reason. It can be so easy to fall in love but falling out of love can be the most difficult things to do in life. I enjoyed reading this poem since it flowed smoothly. Well done. :)

Thank you Ashley I really appreciate your review. Yes, I also agree that there is an appropriate title for this poem. I was so emotional when I wrote this and just trusted my pen with it, I think I didn't mind about the title during those times. I just have to let it all out or I'll burst and worse circumstances could have happened. I want to put the title that way so that I can remember how much tears I let out and how much I was drowned that I didn't even care about the other things. Thank you so much ^_^!

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

You are welcome. :) I totally understand. The titles are one of the most significant things in writing. Each title has its own story behind it.

[Mirra]

I agree :-)

I love it when I find a poet who paints with words...sweeping, colorful, dazzling with meaning. You're all that--and chips. Well done. It's a good example of how free verse can also have meter.
