Twin Effects Of Love
A poem about how love can be a positive impact on one's life or a negative impact.
Feeble attempts at happiness
Shattered by the hammer
Of misery that overpowers
Those that surrender their hearts.
For those who give up their hearts willingly
Are bound to be shredded and torn
Whilst those cling to their hearts
Are destined to wallow in their own silent suffering
In part, life’s true intent
Is not to live
But to survive
Through heartbreak and sorrow
The society’s ambiguous teachings
That precipitates the downfall
Of all relationships
Knotted together by unrequited affection
A man’s desire
Infinite in it’s greed
A woman’s soul
Confined by the care of another
Submit to this curse
You shall see these truths
Avoid it like a plague
Your loneliness shall no end
Alas there is some light
To be shed on this dark corner
Though it be hard to discern
It is there, awaiting its discovery
This light shines upon the young
Pours freely upon the seasoned
Let it be that all that see its gleem
Become transfixed in its cycle
A young lady’s laughter
Bubbles up from her chest
As a young man confesses
His undying ardor
Complete and utter devotion
Held hand-in-hand
With promises so full
They overwhelm the host
A fiery passion blooms
Like a spring blossoms
From the very roots
Of joy and acceptance
Emotions in pleasant turmoil
As the soul flutters
With known affection
From the one you desire the most
These are the descriptions
Of a four-lettered word
These are the truths
About the one feeling
LOVE
