in the name of love

Why in the name of love?
why not
peace
friendship
harmony
it feels to everyone
its not as it seems
that it represents
these and more.
It
gradually
it creeps in to the
deepest
darkest
unused
corners of the heart
and can never be put into suitable words
that is,
until the word
love
came to be.
it makes you
bipolar
bigger
smaller
stronger
weaker
pure
scathed
determined
shy
outgoing.
All in the name of love.

hello

There is much truth in the words of your poem. Your language usage is good and I like the theme. I would have ended it at these lines: until the word love came to be. but that is just me. always, Cat

Dear Emo

Love is all things to all people and sometimes nothing to some people we all have different aspects of ourselves .... peace harmony and friendship are the basis of a life long love, without those things I couldnt breathe .... they are the fabric of life but love is peace, love is harmony and love is friendship and on the other side of the coin love and be a cruel bitch that rips your heart out to throw it in your face ... been there done that ... but love when its right ... woah there isnt anything like it OK I rambled but your poem affected me deeply mark of good poetry :) Kind regards Jayne
