What Is Love?

[Nocturnal_Principal_X]

Here is a poem I wrote in High School...I'm now a Senior in College:

What is love

How does it show its face
Does it say hi or hello
Does it check on you when it is convenient
And then forget when it is not
Does it ask how you are
But not listen when you tell it
Does it decided to show itself to all
Or only to those who are beautiful
Does it ask for its benefit
Or does it ask for yours
How does love show its face

 

[goliwog man]

How does it show its face
Does it say hi or hello

A muted love cannot speak
with blinded eyes such love is weak
It speaks only with a mask at choice
With a lions face and donkeys voice
It hides within ashamed of life
for sin prevails adding strife
its not a word but rather an act
it shows its face when revealing fact
It speaks with actions it is the boss
The same Love nailed our christ to the cross.

Does it ask for its benefit
Or does it ask for yours

If love is so good then why does it hurt
putting others first yourself in the dirt
Like a forested land giving her wealth
The the unlikly swine that ruins her health
Now a vacant desert land
the invaders have taken all joy at hand
when the lover is dead who will love them
the land is no good it breaks down instead
so you see love isnt a deal but a sacrafice
