What love is.

by Gaberial   Apr 28, 2006


What is love, but an emotion,
so germane and so pure,
when shown and shared with another
dare it remain silent and demure?

What is love, but a force
to bring the kings down
With the power to abrogate,
Kill an angel and stay renown.

What is love, but a dare,
the bond of two souls.
Conform to veracity
to reach your infallible goals.

What is love, but a companion,
to solicitate into the unknown.
Stupefying the arcane,
And finally knowing you're not alone.

What is love, but a malediction,
To know you'll always care.
Seraphic in its beauty,
You know I'll always be there.

What is love, but tomorrow?
How tantalizing and dramatic.
The genial sun then the moon,
So placid and phlegmatic.

To the polar and to the hillocks,
To all places, far and wide,
I scream my heart and soul,
Love it is; a love undenied

    "So placid and phlegmatic."
    I would not describe love as phelgmatic.. that's almost a complete contradiction. phelgmatic either means relating to phelgm, which is gross, or calm in such a way that is unemotional. Love is an emotional. To have a phelgmatic love is to not be loving at all. That was a confusing and bad word to use.
    ~~~
    Beyond that, I enjoyed the images and vocabulary, along with the thoughts about love that came with them.

    Another awesome job! I loved the question you used; "What is love?" Although, You went through a number of things. Maybe you could add to it, Say love is only a cause of pain and heartbreak, Or lust. This poem just could really go on forever. Keep it up! 5/5

    *pulls out dictionary* Your vocab really is strong and the word choice was just beautiful. I think the vocab might be hard for some people but I wouldn't suggest changing it because then it'll become another regular poem and this one stands out as is.

    Stunning and severely underrated! The use of language was quite simply worth 5/5 all by itself but the rhyme and flow were equally exquisitely crafted and displayed an obvious talent. I think perhaps the poem may have been percieved as such because for many people the content will have gone over their heads, but I certainly wouldn't suggest tailoring your writing for a larger audience, this was amazing stuff, keep writing! 5/5 x
