"what is love- in your opinion?"

why is love

something so tangible

and soft

in the way that it can

unharden my heart

like sweet honey

dripping pools of sun

on my soul 

that used to hum

so darkly

that it drowned out

my loved ones'

pleading voices

until my own

reigned over my mind

like a crying queen

with power

she doesn't know

how to hold,

and i never knew

i cursed myself forever

by locking myself inside

with only my voice

and its harsh words

to tell me to start loving

to hide


why is love

something so tangible

and soft

in the way that it

can melt the walls

stacked up around me

with an unwavering warmth

i never knew

is what the sun

feels like,

and now you are

this star of day,

this golden spirit

i revolve around

like a planet

desperately

being pulled

into your orbit

to get a taste

of love

so warm and 

absolute


ahhh I'm so busy this weekend but look at me procrastinating. what's new. anyways, thank you scarlettlantsov for asking me what I think love is. your question inspired this poem :))


love,
