Poems About Life

love

Love has been described as a powerful emotion, compared to a rose and a smile, the sun in the east, and has claimed the color red for itself.

Love has started and ended wars, friendships,marriages, even lives. Love is a hurt everyone wants to feel. Love burns and leaves scars. And these beautiful,painful pictures we wear as reminders and trophies.

Love can burn you to ashes or make you a beacon to the world. We write great stories and songs about when we're turned to ashes. Romeo and Juliet, Bonnie and Clyde, Orpheus and Eurydice, Paris and Helen, cleopatra and mark Anthony.

Everyone loves to burn and remembers just how good the fire can make you feel. Love stole the color red and made it its own. It make streets run with it and bathed every rose and sunrise in it. Every beautiful bright beginning and every tragic fiery end. Love made the world start turning and love in all its beautiful, horrible forms keeps it turning.
