This word I give to you

notapoet

This word I give to you is

as precious as new born child,

but as fragile as a promise waiting to be broken.

 

This word I give to you

shines as bright as the sun,

or as dark as a black hole consuming all that is near.

 

This word I give to you

carries new hopes and dreams

like an innocent child’s smile,

but can be washed away with a tear

from a painful memory.

 

This word I give to you

is as hopeful as an angel waiting to be reborn,

but as vengeful as the one who has been banished and forsaken.

 

This word I give to you

is as mighty as an oceans current,

but as gentile as a lazily flowing stream.

 

This word I give to you

holds the key to ones heart

or the chains that binds ones soul.

 

This word I give to you can

be used to suffice ones humble needs

or satisfy ones selfish wants.

 

This word I give to you

has been the bringer of many new lives,

but the cause of many deaths.

 

This word I give to you

is like no other,

 

this word I give to you

is LOVE….
