Array ( [sid] => 85374 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Love is Not [time] => 2005-02-22 23:25:13 [hometext] => I was asked today what is Love. Being too hard to answer I look back at what it was not. [bodytext] => Love is Not

Love is not a person that controls,
So that I am lost.

Love is not a person who hurts,
Or takes advantage.

Love is not a person knowing better,
A father figure wanting more.

Love is not a person running away,
Deserting a love that’s torn.

Love is not sex,
Driven by alcohol.

Love is not forced,
By someone self absorbed.

Love is not giving in,
Cause I’m not worth something more.

Love is not contemplation,
Cause without it I am gone.

very good expression of what love is not.
Love is a feeling within your heart and mind that gives you a reason to go on,once touched by love, you'll never be the same
and as you grow older ,you will come to see there are many kinds of love.

This is really good. I relate to that and believe it. It reminds me of someone.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
