An Annihilating Force
March 22, 2015
I do not think I want to love alone
for love is an annihilating force,
love is way more than my own blood and bone,
she is deep and brutal without remorse.
Men have died to be left, as only bone
and kingdoms have erupted, all for love;
to me love is invisible, unknown,
it must be more than anything above.
In poems and plays people understand
how love consumes, is endless and not brief;
young love is eternal and grasped in hand
is each lip, each hand and breath taken, thief.
I do not think I know what to love means
love may be not in my heart so it seems.

As we know from movies, books, and plays, our culture is fascinated with love. We do not naturally crave only an infatuation filled romance, our species wants a deeper connection with a partner; love. At the same time that we know what we crave, there is no sound definiton for what love is, is it chemical or something of the superatural? I wrote this sonnet from my teen perspective. I do not know what to love means, I hear about it but it is an experience that is a yet to be.
