Love...

A poem about love...

There is one
Word
That frees you
From everything…

It frees you
From pain…

From sorrow…

From depression…

It frees you from
The weight
Of life…

It frees you
From all
Danger....

From all
Fear…

It frees you
From everything…

That one word…
Is love…

Love is a very
Special thing…

It comes and
Goes…

Your heart gets
Broken so many
Times…

But the person
You love,
Is the person who
Can fix your
Broken heart…
With nothing but
 A smile…

You can’t choose
Who you love…

You can’t choose
Who you fall for…

Or even how hard
You fall…

It just…

Happens…

And you may
Think that you
Are only one person
In the world…

But…
You may also
Be the world
To one person…

Love is such
A beautiful thing…
You don’t have to
Take it away from
Anyone
To give
It…

Because there’s enough
To go around…

And life without
Love…

Is like a tree…
With no
Blossoms and fruit…

Do they love you,
Because you’re
Beautiful…?

Or…

Are you beautiful,
Because they love
You…?

Life is
Really short…

But…

Love is always
Forever….

And…

If you trip
Over love…

You can get
Back up…

But…

If you fall
In love…

You’ve fallen
Forever….

Love is elegant…
And enchanting…

Love is…
Forever…

Love is…
Understanding
Someone…

Love is always
Being there
For someone
When they
Need you…

What is life...
Without love?

thanks so much!!

[Sacha Davison]

This is really beautiful, as usual! You stepped out of your usual style with this one and it turned out great! Take a look at the second last stanza, I believe there's a typo on the first line of it. Great piece, Adriana!

[}Echo{]

Thank you!! Thanks! Um.. I didn't see a typo... Thank you.

[Sacha Davison]

"The is always" I just don't follow you there. :P

[}Echo{]

Ah, I misread what you wrote and thought you said the second stanza, I see it now... I feel like an idiot... Thank you, I will fix that. ;p

[Sacha Davison]

Ah, I can see how you could have been confused, don't feel like an idiot! Everyone makes mistakes . :P

[}Echo{]

Yeah.. Haha, thanks. :)

This is so true, so poignant, so amazing and touching. Thank you for this- these feelings are what I have been having lately for a special someone after the many heartbreaks that you talked about- love is an amazing thing, the most special of all emotions, and it has the power to do so much. Great job capturing that!

[}Echo{]

I really like it. :) I especially like how you can just switch a few words around and get something different. "Do they love you because you're beautiful or are you beautiful because they love you?" Great job.
