Love is a Dagger
The shining Silver
Loves greatest Gold
Beautifully enriched
Sharpened to a point
The height of a relationship
Broken when tossed
How easily it snaps
Tossed from hand to hand
The Love Dagger
Piercing a heart
Cold as steel
Seeing a shimmer in the shadow
Chasing after love
Only to be stabbed in the back
Love is Nothing but the opposite
Good and Evil, passed between the hands
Chosen by a leader
Used by both
Hilt or no hilt
Love is supported
Like a dagger
Entwined unto each other
Becoming one
Simply foretold, A great use
The dagger of love
Death or Life, chosen
The Arrowhead space
Docded in blood
A Heart, love
Stabbed and Broken
Give me life, dagger
Sacrificed unto love
Giving a heart
So poorly beating
Cold steel, Cold blood
Useless love, Wasted time
Mourning unto the night
Until love is found again

an amazing poem, it has a rhythm with out rhyme, i like it! love is a blade..... awesome, love starr
i love it! and i have to agree with the sentiment that love is a fleeting and double edged sword a 10 in my book!
Though i agree that love can be fatal and painful You forgot to mention that it can be joyous too. anyway, great write Heart

I would like to translate this poem
I like this with the metaphor of the blade being like love. You're right; love is a blade; many like to play with it but it often slips through the fingers and hurts us. Fortunately wounds heal leaving scars reminding us to not do the same thing again! Keep up the good work! :)
