a repost. initially wrote this on the 28th of april, 2004. when my previous blog crashed, i sorta lost all the stuffs. here’s just one of the few poems i’ve managed to save. enjoy.
love is a weird thing.
it is pure emotion.
it cannot be measured, cannot be loaned
and it cannot be stolen.
love is given, willingly by one
albeit, unknowing, of the consequences.
love carries the seeds of destruction,
envy, hate and hunger.
if not checked,
love has the potential to change
from a selfless love into a love so selfish and spiteful
it is no different from hate
love is full of spite, full of hurts
yet love heals and love rebuilds
it is a contradiction
love is not blind, yet because it sees past flaws
it exposes one to unknown perils
love. for what it is, i’d give my life
love. for what it promises, i’d give my soul
love. for what it brings, i’m willing to kill…
am i crazy? or am i in love?
are you insane? or are you held captive by love?
