Eruption

Teddy.15

 

They tell me, love is at the top

the top of what?

 I’ve searched and searched

I've searched the top of every mountain

I’ve walked thousands of miles

on the top of melting rock

trying to find it 

just to feel its mere touch for even just a moment 

I love the thought of love 

love that cripples my very being

crushing my heart and soul

until I'm liquid gold on the cobbles in my dreams

shaking from head to toe 

just to taste the magic 

that is love 

people tell me it makes them dizzy

heart flutters

they tell me I'd feel the butterflies 

 

but really 

 

Isn't it just an over whelming feeling of joy

knowing we are no longer alone?

and when that joy goes away 

aren't we just left lying in its embers? 

 

what is love? 

 

do tell?

 

because I'm lost…

 

lost under all its ashes.

    A moving poem, really well written.

    • Teddy.15

      Thank you dear Tom, my favourite subject is love and all the dramatics of it, I'm a bit rusty I haven't written for a while so I'm really grateful you have enjoyed this. So very kind of you to pass by and leave your words.

      I'm a sucker for love poems myself and anything to do with the subject .. I think here you have asked a series of most pertinent questions and also arrived at several possible solutions as well as providing the ultimate and irrefutable answer .. N

          Love is not only at the top but also at the bottom. It is the underlying foundation of all things, what holds reason up and keeps meaning standing. So if you look you will find it top and bottom, inside and out. Loved the poem Teddy
