Love Isn'T

I know I'm awake I know how to open my eyes But i don't know why i can't see I feel time moves on I hear the clock ticking But I never felt time stops I've seen the burning sun stung by the burning cold But never faced a tornado Touched many colors never seen a rainbow seen the Nile crossed the seas But never been under a waterfall Read the book many times never turned over the page Walked in many directions never tried falling down Never had to think of what I didn't Never tried to change what I wasn't Now you know all the symptoms Now you know what love ISN'T.

Whoa Mostafa! This is superbly done! Many have written about what love is - your take on what it isn't is very refreshing. You've captured the images very well and your tone and rhythm make the poem a pleasure to read. Definitely keep on writing.

So many things are hidden which can only be discovered through love. You present cleverly what could happen when one lacks the courage to love. Welcome, Mostafa! David
