A love so secret, veiled and dark,
Hidden deep within my heart.
Yet I think I may be wrong
About my heart, my love, my song;
Is it naught but lustful yearning?
A base desire my heart is learning?
Is it love or is it lust?
To find the truth I think I must;
Search my black and tattered soul,
And make the truth my one true goal,
Until at last my colours show.
But, I guess, till then I'll never know.
Talk about many a thought put into words... only one way to find out...10/10 PH friend :)
Very beautiful poem, I prefer this kind of versification, it is the most beautiful, classic poetry is the real and memorable, I cheer you and call on continuing like that. This teen-age feeling is true my dear Alexander. I see you a great poet you will earn reputation.
Love is when you eat her, sleep her, drink her and everything her...........thats LOVE! ! ! ! ! Well written poem indeed.Keep writing Steen.
your honesty is refreshing....the line between the two feelings is very fine indeed, both make your blood scream....great work here
Once again, stunning in the clarity and the flow of thoughts!
this was a beautiful poem. keep writing. -bleeding mascara
Is it love craving of soul for soul or Lust craving of flesh for flesh Cannot be known till you are trapped in mind's mesh. Good work. keep going.
ALEXANDER, YES, WELL DONE! YOU HAVE AN INBORN TALENT FOR SELF-EXAMINATION AND DESCRIPTIVE PRESENTATION. YES, A POET YOU ARE. NOT TO LECTURE, BUT OUR BRAIN/ABILITY TO MAKE MATURE DECISIONS DOESN'T WORK FULLY UNTIL THE AGE OF TWENTY-FIVE, SO THE SCIENTISTS SAY. LUST IS A NATURAL INSTINCT AND CAN BE FLEETING. LOVE IS SOMETHING, A COMBINATION OF BOTH LOVE AND LUST, THAT IS COMBINED WITH YOUR SELF-KNOWLEDGE, HER SELF-KNOWLEDGE, WHAT YOU SHARE IN COMMON AND WHAT YOU NEED AND SHE NEEDS TO BE WHOLE IN THE UNION, YES? KNOWING YOURSELVES ALLOWS FOR THE NECESSARY CONTINUING SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE IMPORTANT TO A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP, I THINK. WE SHOULDN'T COMBINE TO LOSE OUR IDENTITY, BUT TO EXPAND OURSELVES. COMING TOGETHER AS MUSIC AND LYRICS DO, IN OTHER WORDS. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. MY BEST, CAROL
