Can you ever stare outside and see
The dunes passing by after our sight
The desertification before the despair
The swinging blue ends of the spectrum?
My hand is rude and tough, you know
But this sturdy body has to stand
Before the almighty spears of the world
Spiked, my core didn't allow the defense
The sigh, the womb and the urged prevention
But the shield is my vocation, protecting
Your smile doesn't have to be erased
The wings that you have to grow are delicate
Burning the fire with the intense energy
Glowing inside your eyes, those burning eyes
But when you fall down the endless abyss
You'll hit my body on the assassin rock of yours
I can't seduce you with flawless dances
My rotten moth's wings can't teach you the sun
But even roses have their spiny thorns
And what would be their beauty without them
Without the will of the lover taking them?
Can the rainbow shine to the blind eyes
Who can't watch the bizarre horrors of man?
That's why I try and grasp true petals
Although they're not filled with beauty
My DNA's odor can be detected from them
Leave me this way; the mirror must not lie
To the one putting an honest smile in me
Do you need to watch the sunsets everyday?
Do the stars need to shine for blessing us?
Pull the strings, instead, and tie me up
The bond to your heart that shall never end
Not even with the seizures, convulsions of life
Squares drawing the history of angels' quill
Writing down the kisses and hugs of two shadows
Deep blue, no holds barred for the passion
And the light wind wants to blow the pipes
Manage my strings again, for I am your fool
The doll you never left apart, the doll with beats
Equalizing the dances of clowns and fairies
No matter the rotten reality surrounding us
The feathers writing lies, hurting painkillers
Not even the scars draining off our lies
The roots of love are growing up our trees now
Author notes
I tried to write down my concept of love, but I guess it's even more complex than this.

wow... this is my favorite poem now... see what i mean, youre perspective is awsome... its in a way even romantic... big brother, you've been going for the wrong kinda girls
-
hmmm, I know that my mind thinks of love as a very complex thing...more ocmplex than hate, chemical warfare and rocket science and that's saying something. Good try at expressing how you see love yourself though.

That's what love is, complex. I really loved this, it's very true, and real. Awesome job, I can tell you worked hard on this, thanks for this awesome entry!
Blessings,

Love is...
Hmmm....what do you wish me to think of this poem other than it is one of the most truthful representations of life's treatment of love and the people involved. Throughout your poem I can picture the ideas that you are trying to get across and they are a mixture of perfect and jagged...as most of your writing is. -
Can the rainbow shine to the blind eyes
That's great. Beautiful poem, the imagery is crazy... Love it
-
You guessed right!! Though it could probably be because its written/dedicated to nobody; a person who as of yet, doesn't exist. Its incomprehensible what a normal sane individual would do when in love. It is tough to be knowingly illogical and irrational with our thoughts as they are bound to be when in love! I was quite amazed with what I did understand of your concept I loved the faint, lilting use of imagery; it paints a jaded yet innocent picture of "love"
"Leave me this way; the mirror must not lie
To the one putting an honest smile in me"
How beautiful, the idea of someone placing a smile in us(not on our lips but inside where it counts!)
"Writing down the kisses and hugs of two shadows"
Great line! Hope you have a brighter concept about life though! LOL!
