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.

No words, my mouth hangs open... Your poem has summed up the question and I don't think anyone knows what the meaning of love is. Great job, you will go far and congrats on being published ! :)

I really enjoyed this poem. The pinch of rhythm really added a great touch to it. Obviously, in this poem there is a lot of emotional feelings which comes from the heart and that is what makes a piece of writing worth reading.

Your poem is really amazing, nice rhyming and a creative use of words. I felt you really kept the pace up and entertained me the whole time, when normally I end up feeling pretty lost. =
