If love was ...



Someone recently asked me what my opinion of love was. That sent me thinking. So the poem (hoping that's what it is) that I've written below is what I came up with much after the question was put up.




If love was a sound
it would be the beating of my heart

If love was a thing
it would be a shawl that I'd wrap around

If love was a taste
it would be both bitter and sweet

If love was a drink
its one drop I wouldn't waste

If love was a smile
it would never fade away

If love was a road
it would stretch for countless miles

If love was a word
it would be the name of the one I love


If love was a story
it would move only forward

PS: Did you notice the ABCA kind of rhyming that I've tried to bring about? :) Please feel free to give your representation of love.

Hi NCL Girl,
Nice poetry. Your ABCA rhyming is also very good. I just went through the lines and a few more came to my mind, which, I would like to share.

If love was a light,
it would span the seven colours

If love was food,
it would be nectar of the moonlight

Keep it up!

In practice love is much different and far from all these lines!! and at the end you'll feel that it doesn't exist at all.
We have made it to convince ourselves in difficult emotional situations!! otherwise how can you find someone to love you and to be unconditional!! as love doesn't have any limit,any line any ...

I dont know,maybe I have become a bit tough.

You are right Ideh in practice love is different from what I've written. But if it could be a sound, thing, etc I'd would want it to be very much like what my poem says. :)

I guess I haven't reached the end yet coz I am still a strong believer of love. I do believe that one can find someone who'll love you forever... however you may be... good, bad or ugly. :p

o dear,
dont forget that in spite of what ever I wrote,I also beleive it or better to say I like to beleive in it.as without love,without hanging to a very strong point called love,its sometimes very difficult to handle this damn life!!!

and I beleive that we can make it possible,we really can,but if we really do,I doubt!

Love is what keeps us going in tough situations. But its also there when things are going easy in life. :)
