Word Poetry Challenge #5 : Beauty and Madness
Source
Beauty and Madness
The way two hands
latch to one another
fingers intertwined,
like two lost souls united
after years of longing.
The way two lovers see
each other eye to eye,
two souls diving
to the deepest core
of their being
exploring their deepest desires.
The way two lovers speak
each sound a remark
of perpetual promise
with emotions poured out
in every word uttered.
What beauty love brings
No selfishness,
No ego,
No “I” only “We”
But love at its finest
is complex and messy.
The way of accepting
the endless cycle
of putting back together
broken shards
and shattered parts of you
piece by piece
when being at odds.
The sacrifice
you take from one’s self
to give and provide
for in love there’s no “I”.
No “I”
that often “I” is lost for the “You”
and forgetting “I”
needs to be loved too.
At times fleeting
often ceaseless
A reality or an illusion?
What can love be?
Beauty and madness
Like a rose
with a beauty so exquisite
it cannot be clasped,
without being pricked by thorns.
