What is Love - a Poem

I am so numb when it comes to love...

It is not like how i would go out of my way to make a relationship work only to mess it up.

Once in a while the heart is rekindled but the sparkle dont last.
It comes and goes like water on taro leaf
trying to grasp but slides and plummets into the abyss of nothingness.

What is Love?

I ask so many questions...
How many paths will you cross?
How many souls will you wreck?
Some people just dont bother to check...

Like a zigsaw pazzle,
Putting up is so much trouble...
So as to letting go...
Never been able to put a nail on it
Why do we keep running from it?
Only to know we've been yearning for it.

What is Love?

People say i love you.
hope one ever stops to think if they ever meant it?
Like a smoke screen, you can never grasp it
Yet we give it a name and a symbol <3
And call it wonderful...
Last i learnt heart is for pumping blood
What a fool...

What is Love?

Romeo and Juliet pops in mind
who would've known shakespeare without them?
What was Shakespeare thinking when he wrote about love in that funny language?

"Embroiled with thy feelings is far worse than picking thy apples from thy forbidden tree,
It is a curse i must say ma lord..."

Romeo died for Juliet
So as Jack died for Rose

Who would you die for?

Historians and philosophers claim
Love is a powerful force
I quite disagree to agree
Its much more irrational than the force of gravity.
Never an ounce of logic,
It blinds and makes you go coo coo...

What is Love?

The preacher would say
In the beginning there was nothing but Love!
With conviction so strong it sound just about right...
And thats the thing about Love,
Its never a fallasy nor the truth.
It can cause and stop one to self destruct
It can stop wars more humanely than nuclear bombs
It can disolve hate and pour peace on earth given the chance
Even shatter one into thousand pieces
Or propel the other to thousand riches

What is Love?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
