Teaching Love As A Second Language

by Meme   Apr 23, 2013


I've heard those words
being said over and over
again, and I've seen those
lines that wrap people in a
state of utter hypnosis...

..but I never understood
the language until..

--

I was there, and so were
you, I thought you were
the student but later on
I found the truth.

You taught me how to
write the four letters I
always failed to spell,
taught me the right steps
to understand it well.

A professor is how I
still picture you, for you
have introduced me to
something I never knew.

A new life .. A new way
to see things around me.
A new language that my
heart had named after you.

      Yuup I understand your comment fully, I've been struggling with this writers block for a while now and I honestly don't know how this poem can be saved.... I will however try my best once I get my inspiration back, but if you got any suggestions now I would be happy to know them :)

      Thanks a lot Hellon, I love your honest comments :)

    I don't know why this poem reached me, but it did. The thing is, I never, literally, will never voluntarily click on a love piece. Love poems just never interest me, and they all feel so repetitive. This was one of the few exceptions - along with one that Crystal wrote recently. This club apparently just has a gift for writing good love poetry. I really felt the weight of this one - I voted for it, and I'm guessing it was a part of that 3-way tie :)

    Really, Meme, you made this quite beautiful. I love the little rhymes you snuck in there. It flowed, nothing felt like it was forced.

    "A professor is how I
    still picture you, for you
    have introduced me to
    something I never knew."

    That was so sharp for me. I know exactly what that feeling feels like - and it's worded exactly correctly. Just, altogether, geesh. This really was an enjoyable poem.

    I really liked this piece!

      To be honest I wasnt sure about this piece at all, but your words just made me believe in it a bit more.

      Thank you so much sweetie :)
