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.

I congratulate you on your literary passion; the poem was sweet, real, and simple. I was impressed by your talent, especially at such a young age! I am in awe of the Teen Ink writers; they continue to surprise me with talent, beauty and understanding with so little effort!(Or so it seems.)
If love could be descibed,
it would be the stars radiating in your smile,
the way the sunlight dances in your eyes,
and the warmth of your hand when its holding mine.
Your love is like the ocean waves caressing the land,
like the flight of birds gliding in the air,
like young lovers against the purple sunset dancing in the sand,
your love is like the diamond, forever and rare.
A brief glimpse at my work reveals the long road I must travel even to equal your talent! Good Luck, Kiana!
