The Meaning of Love? MAG
November 8, 2008
The beating of my broken heart, now chained and locked away,
I hear much louder, through the night, than words we never say.
As hollow kisses turn to dust and fall against my skin,
I pray that I might find the strength to fall in love again.
Abandoned innocence, stripped away, discarded on the floor.
In the dirt, I bury hope that love leaves unlocked doors.
I am held, though never cherished, yet to be made whole.
My tears can wipe themselves away, but I must save my soul.
Bare feet, run, lead me home, where I am Mother’s child,
And toward the pale rose sunset for a pretty little while.
If broken wings may carry dreams, and carry me to sleep,
Take me far away from love and tell me what it means.

I think you're an amazing poet. This has everything I like in a poem. I love it when poets can seemingly effortlessly rhyme, without it being seeming forced, as you do here. I also love that you use very descriptive language, and it comes out beautifully. This poem also has depth but isn't one of those poems that you have to read a million times to figure out what is being said. Keep following your passion - a passionate poet makes for passionate poems!

i really enjoyed reading "the meaning of love". it really got me thinking which is something that you really want your readers to do. i hope i become as good as you in the near future. when i write i express all my feelings on paper it seems like its the only way i can get every single bit of my feelings out otherwise i am just a person who walks around with a mask on . i am showing people that i am such a happy person when really inside i am the most depressed person. so your articles and poems really inspire me to become a better writer and i think you for that.
