What is Love?
Is it an intense feeling of affection?
Or, an intense feeling of connection?
truly bound by souls, heart and mind
Love is patient, and love is kind,
Love keeps records of no wrongs
And is expressed by beauty of poetry and songs

Love has its way of setting the spirit free,
A friendship on fire for the entire world to see
It is filled with indescribable passion
Displayed by gestures, and kind acts of compassion
Love is forever, never to be dissolved
Its issues, through laughter are always resolved

It is tangible through bold acts of ****** desire
Untamable emotions, vulnerability on fire
Two become one, consuming each other’s heart,
In images more beautiful than the finest works of art
Breath taking feelings of guiltless pleasure and hope
Bound through eternity, never to elope
Continued on through creation of new life
The ultimate goal of husband and wife

Love is strong, and not for the weak hearted
Every day, is a challenge, therefore uncharted
It is carried on through life and death
Far beyond each partners final breath
It is the true essence of life and existence
Something every heart seeks with agony and persistence
If your lucky enough to experience this true worth
Then you’ve unlocked the greatest mystery of both heavens and earth.
I want to meet the End,
To no longer fear,
I want a way -- away,
I fear to stay.

A new turn - a new bend,
I will not stay - I sway,
Swaying- blislessly,
Now -- I just sway away,

Swaying, in the distance,
A turn taken,
A burn -- in the making,
Swaying away -- turning away.
Eternallucidity
Why did you have to rip our child from the womb ?
Why did you have to send him to his eternal tomb?
Why couldn't you let me be a happy father?
You say you have an explanation but don't even bother.

Would having our child having their first breath really be a crime?
Why do you look at it as stopping it just in time?
No matter how you look at it you took a life
Doesn't matter if it was by scalpel or knife.

You ended a gift from God
You act like it doesn't bother you
But I know that's a facade
Because that could never be true.

Now I pick up my pen
So that you can see the beauty within
For a child is a beautiful gift
If you take it away you create a permanent rift.

Some say it is a choice
But I say we need to hear their unspoken voice
Let them live
For we do not know if your sin God can forgive.
This was a poem written because of my challenge and because I read a story where despite the father's protests a mother had their unborn son aborted because she did not want a kid at that time. A fetus is a life so no one should end it.
Somebody save me
My future is fading into black
Once i pull the trigger there will be no turning back
Why must this be?

What's this vision of beauty I see
Past all my pain
Will she lend me an ear
Or have me cry out in vain?

I've been hurt so much before
That I can't help but say no more
Her glance ends all hostility
And I realize she's the girl for me

I was at the end of my rope
But now I have a new hope
For her beauty is my salvation
If not for her I'd face eternal damnation.
One of my friends was about to commit suicide until he met a girl that loved him for him and their love kept him going :) this poem was written for the couple that gave me hope that there is someone out there for everyone.

I want to rip you apart
Strip flesh for every sin you’ve committed
Beat you down while you scream
And rid you of your black heart.

You speak the language of lies
A waste of innocence,
A joke of a companion
I’m tired of your fake and dramatic goodbyes

No one cares anymore
They’re finished playing nice
Honestly, you can't see through their fury?
They don’t deal well with ******

Just do a favour
Next time that razor comes out
Slit your ******* throat
Because there is no saviour.
