What's My Life Without Love

They say beauty defines you But I think your heart defines you Your heart is an unique jewel Made to be shined and loved Your heart and my heart are no different They beat the same joy of living Maybe sing different tunes But their rhythms are exactly alike Fragile maybe but heartbeat strong Tireless to care and smile They sing they cry they fly they fall They go thru a lot yet unrelenting to beat on Baby your heart is beautiful You can't do no wrong letting it shine Remember risk is where reward comes from Perchance happiness As my heart is soft and yes fragile Been broken and cried countless times Yet relentless to love on Because what's my life without love Smile Akkina R Downing 8-12-17

Beautiful. Some people can die from a broken heart. In other's it's a very strong conduit to forgiveness, loving and survivng. How much you have inside you measures your worth, not wealth, materialistic value. Physical beauty is very transient, it doesn't last forever, the true beauty is definitely inside. Lovely poem Akkina.

How much love you have measures your worth, No matter where you exist on this earth; Am polite, Day and night; Was nice and took upper and gave her lower birth.

Such a beautiful written poem, yeah love is one of the most important thing in your life, no matter how many times your heart is broken yet you found it trusting someone else again, everyone needs somwone to share their feelings, share their happiness and sadness with someone, want someone to love them, help them and only your true love help you in these moments, living a life without love is really difficult

A life without love is just that. A life without love. Sadly, there are some who live without much love. Let us all pray for love to flourish in everyone's heart. Congrats on potd Akkina. You've expressed warm insight and yes, love in this poem. :)
