Love [it almost makes sense this time...]

[e x m o t i o n a l]

Love is chasing a butterfly over the edge of a cliff,
and still grabbing for it while you fall

Love is being asked to tear out a piece of your body,
and while you do, not faltering at all


Love is crying tears that burn your cheeks
Fighting so hard that you forget to think

Love is accepting that you cannot win
And not letting go, even as you sink


Love is our strength, our shield, and our sword
It gives us our hope, our loss, and our pain

Love is our purpose, everything in our world
It shows us our path, again and again


Follow the butterfly's erratic path
Don't be afraid, or you won't get anywhere
at all.

Personally, I think it's great. My only problem with it is the "Love is..." all the time, it just seems a tad repetitive.

the trouble with looove is...
urm... *cough cough* anyway ^_^;
i guess it is a bit repetitive, but..
Well no, it is.
i just thought it made it a little more consistent.
The trouble with rhyming couplets is how hard it is to make them all seem connected, yeah?
i r teh literacy in a bottle.

Yes, I know. Couplets are normally used in lyrics, though, but they're spaced out. It's rather entertaining trying to find the different rhyme schemes and structure in different poetry and lyrics.

Great peom. The repitition kind of gives it a feeling of love having many meanings, which it does! Great imagry, My favorite part was
"Love is our strength, our shield, and our sword
It gives us our hope, our loss, and our pain "
Great poem.

i'm glad you liked it ^_^

the thing with the structure of this is that there's two levels of couplets, one which rhymes and one which doesn't, so editing anything is difficult to do without destroying the entire thing
