What Love Is Poem by Ragy Sandid

I know what love is
Love is a person
An idea
A notion

Love is what a movie told you
What love is
Or someone you hold dear
When you saw who he was with

Or one or both of your parents told you
That it's right around the corner
Santa Clauses' eminent arrival
And it'll soon be over

Or that time when you let it all go
And just placed hope where it could hang
Just to live a vampire's life
Wondering whose is the bloody fang

You see the scape of love's city
But never the inner streets and alleyways
Soon love mixes ugly and pretty
And one's thought are never what he prays

I know love because it always came in a dream
It spoke and made promises I believed
Love is sure never as it would seem
And if it was, why does any breakup equal deceived?
