Love is more than just a word

Love is more than just a word,
Cause words can always fade away.
And, as a feeling in your world,
Love seems to find its way to stay.

But how could love have just a single meaning,
When it can end in all the ways it does?
When love's the only prize you want for winning,
When all you want is the power that love has?

And because love has more than just a meaning,
And because love has to be felt by two,
And because love's my one and only feeling,
That's why, forever, I'll love you.

Author notes

I am sorry for the, maybe, un-equal number of syllables in some of the lines. Not intentionally made for Valentine's Day, but it goes pretty well with the ocassion, doesn't it?

    Very interesting. I liked how you talk about the different meanings of love-- I believe you can "love" in a lot of different ways-- as a person, friend, romantically, etc, but being in love, the forever way, happens only once. It's like teenagers who speak of love after a month of dating--sure it's real, it's just not the kind that lasts forever. Comparing brass to gold... Anyway, this is a really cool piece, the only thing I'd do differently is maybe re-examine that last stanza--the "and because love can break your heart in two" kind of throws of the meaning of the rest of the stanza. It makes it seem like it's not going to stick--like, I say I love you because love can break your heart in two..[inference: I will break your heart in two] Is it one of those, you don't care if you get your heart broken lines? or your heart's been broken before which is how you know this is love? Maybe clarify it a little, make it stronger. Anyway, great piece, I like it a lot, and good luck in the contest!

    Very well written! Speaks a lot of truth, which is hidden!

    Oh my goodness! I've TOTALLY, COMPLETELY fallen in love with this poem! It speaks to me in such a way that I cannot help but stay. To blush would be quite suffice, but not so nice. Sorry to write in rhyme but, I just don't have time. To go and undo what has been done, I feel this poem has won. My fragile heart now opens up to a place where I can start anew and frankly, it's all because of you. Ok, enough rhyme, I'm running out of time. So all I have to say is this: Farewell my dear poet, I bestow upon you, a gentle kiss!
