Love is a gift and a curse
something to be treasured and scorned
it causes tears of joy and of pain.
Love fills this world with light and drowns it in rain
something to hold close and keep locked away
it causes hope to brighten and hope to fade.
Love is an messenger of our fate and our choices
something to listen to and one to ignore
it causes the time in our lives to wane.
Love is a gift and a curse
something we can not explain nor understand
it causes us to take the good with the bad.

You’ve written this well but I find it hard to see how love is both a gift and a curse. In a way it could be compared to feeding a child a candy bar that was in truth a scorpion, I am confused with poem but thank you for entering this.

It's very true of what you say about love. It is many a thing and causes many different reactions. It can cure you or kill you, mark you or make you. But love is what we need and we learn from it and grow from it. Beauty in love I will always find, I'm in love and although it's hard to feel hard to deal with sometimes, its there and it's the best thing ever when you are with that special someone. Thanks for your definition, you are of course very right.

This is great and so true in life.
Love is indeed a gift and a curse
that can change at any given moment.
It is something to cherish and something
to keep a watchful eye on all of the time.
Great work with this one and best of luck
to you with it in the contest! Thanks
