LOVE KNOWS NO AGE LIMIT
Inspirational Song: Age Ain't Nothing But a Number by Aaliyah Dana Haughton
Works: @gifford-egon
Age is just a number without purpose,
Like a star that is just a mere number,
There is a love that we must fight for,
That's why only freedom awaits on the journey.
The difference in years will always be erased by reality,
Like the morning dew that will be dissipated by the world,
You and I are us, as if the love that will never be cut off by death,
though the world is reluctant to say we can't be together.
Our love is a real eternity,
So are those who always look cynically in malice,
to the heart that we will always keep, thanks to true hope,
as if it will never beat without stopping, and can never be stopped..
Let them always speak, and swear.,
Because age will never get in the way of our story,
We are a story that will always glow in the dark of night,
Can never defy the limits of the world, together we are forever eternal.

About the poem "Love Knows No Age Limit”
Poetry Theme:
The theme of my poem is love beyond age. The message of the theme that I want to convey is how the tradition of marrying according to age should not be a barrier to romantic relationships. Because love can transcend age and sincere feelings so that age is not more important than a benchmark number, it should even be a right of freedom for us to love whether it is in the age difference, or other things.the essence of the poem:
The point of the poem is how we should not always be bound by the limitations of society's perceptions of marriages of different ages, that we must believe in the proof of love that God has bestowed on us regardless of age so that we have the freedom to love whoever we want to love. From this poem, I would like to depict a couple that is hindered from romance by social restrictions, namely age-related restrictions.Writing Style:

Structure and Shape:
I set this poem in a free form poem with four stanzas, each of which consists of four lines. And I made this form in order to facilitate reading and understanding, thus creating a natural rhythm.Emotion and Depth:
The emotions that I used in expressing in this poem are freedom, joy, and the eternity of love. So that the emotions of the poem can be expressed with more depth, and will give a strong emotional impact to the reader.Messages and Meanings:
The message I want to convey through this poem is that real, true love knows no age limit. So the meaning of this poem can be interpreted by the reader as a call to appreciate and celebrate love regardless of age or social boundaries as we have so far experienced.
