LOVE can happen not merely
By touch, words, and beauty
But even by a glance, a fragrance and pathos
So proclaimed Eros

Did it now become clear
That within each one of us resides
LOVE

When the LOVE of
East meets West
North meets South
Everything merges
with LOVE

Thus the wisdom of LOVE
never dies

Amidst classes, castes
sects, regions, gender & age
The core of LOVE
Always endures itself

Let us all promise
To light the flame of LOVE
Within our heart
Let us LOVE
Without hesitation
Let us not reject
Anyone's LOVE

Love is the purest gift of GOD

One truth is clear to us now
From the bereft of sunrise
Rises LOVE
From the lorn of moonlight
Lits LOVE

For those possessing LOVE within
Even a Coal is SUN

Hi It's Haliyah
I know how to dance
In the pouring rain.
I know there's not a chance
I can fall without pain.

I don't know
The cruelty of scars,
But neither have I felt the glow
Of the midnight stars.

I know how to hold my breath
In the deep blues and grays.
I know that death
Is the only promise of my days.

I can't believe you took my hand. Flowers danced and the sky cried. Clouds folded in on their own softness. I prayed to them everyday for you to notice me. The louder I yelled. The more you turned away. In the end.
- Silence - Patience -
Made you look - listen
- And stay -

One who feared LOVE
Called it unattainable

One who pondered LOVE
Pressed a rose in their books

One who ruminates LOVE
wraps it around a wick and calls it a lamp

And there is one who contemplates
Puts fire of LOVE
Burns heart to inequable use

LOVE
Serves many purposes
Warmth, care,
Compassion, touch
Companionship, feelings
And above all
LOVE loves...

But humans sold LOVE
In the bazaars of wealth & age
Education & gender
What an exorbitant cost to humankind?
Oh.. divesting LOVE to stupidity!

Fortuitously,
You told me
"Wander not far & wide
In quest of LOVE anywhere
So here I stand
Within YOU- my LOVE"

i wanted to stay here, in this place only touched by nature.
a place only devastated by the hands of natural things.
far away from anything with a heartbeat or a voice.
but reality tangles its hands in your hair and finds a way to drag you back.
it always, drags you back.

i've never let anything live in me
at times not even myself
but you are here always
and for now i'll keep pretending
my hands can't reach the door

tonight i drowned out the silence with the sound of your voice
i watched your hands touch the darkness & turn it into light
i felt your eyes burn holes down the curve of my spine
i tasted years of sadness in the warmth of your mouth
i felt love move inside me when your skin touched mine
please love,
don't ever stop
making me,
*feel

i held a bird in my hands
his wings were broken
he begged me to fix him
i tried, oh how i tried,
but all he really wanted
was the strength to fly away

to love you is to breathe, even when the weight of a thousand wars have moved their fight inside my chest.

i will look for you in places we have never seen & on the empty streets of cities that don't actually exist.
i will look for you.

Is it love?
When you start writing her name with a razor instead of a pen,
is it still love?
All answers are welcome :)

A side note, this is more of a metaphor for hurting yourself mentally than the actual act.

Thank you very much for your answers.

you tell me about her and
how she broke your heart and
how you're so empty now that she's gone.

all i do is say how sorry i am
that life messes up the best of us
and tell you to keep hanging on.

but what else can i say
when all i want to do is run to you
and tell you how much i love you?

what else can i say
when inside i bleed for you
and what we can never have?

what else can i say
when you tell me you can't picture
life with anyone else?

what else can i say
but tell you i'm so sorry
and mean it with all my heart.

what else can i say?

she's tearing you apart and
you're tearing me apart and
i know i'm tearing him apart too.

sometimes i sit and wonder why
love is so
cruelly blind.
for O.
