"what is love- in your opinion?"
why is love
something so tangible
and soft
in the way that it can
unharden my heart
like sweet honey
dripping pools of sun
on my soul
that used to hum
so darkly
that it drowned out
my loved ones'
pleading voices
until my own
reigned over my mind
like a crying queen
with power
she doesn't know
how to hold,
and i never knew
i cursed myself forever
by locking myself inside
with only my voice
and its harsh words
to tell me to start loving
to hide
why is love
something so tangible
and soft
in the way that it
can melt the walls
stacked up around me
with an unwavering warmth
i never knew
is what the sun
feels like,
and now you are
this star of day,
this golden spirit
i revolve around
like a planet
desperately
being pulled
into your orbit
to get a taste
of love
so warm and
absolute
ahhh I'm so busy this weekend but look at me procrastinating. what's new. anyways, thank you scarlettlantsov for asking me what I think love is. your question inspired this poem :))
