The Meaning of Love? MAG
November 8, 2008
The beating of my broken heart, now chained and locked away,
I hear much louder, through the night, than words we never say.
As hollow kisses turn to dust and fall against my skin,
I pray that I might find the strength to fall in love again.
Abandoned innocence, stripped away, discarded on the floor.
In the dirt, I bury hope that love leaves unlocked doors.
I am held, though never cherished, yet to be made whole.
My tears can wipe themselves away, but I must save my soul.
Bare feet, run, lead me home, where I am Mother’s child,
And toward the pale rose sunset for a pretty little while.
If broken wings may carry dreams, and carry me to sleep,
Take me far away from love and tell me what it means.

This is a very good poem! I wish I could write like you! Your lines are so upbeat and have rythym! It's very impressive! =]
this is a great poem. i read the first line and was like, argh, no, it's going to be terrible! (no offence, but the first couple of lines could be improved. they're just kind of cliched) but then i read further on and it got better and better until by the end it was wonderful. bar the first couple of lines, it's fantastic. i love it!

I really enjoyed this and found that it flowed easily together. Your words came from the heart, and while it wasn't dark and scary, it still expressed some sad heartedness.
lovely!
lovely!
