it's a four letter word - seldom uttered by the world
it's a sound so silent - seldom heard by the heart
so why can't truth come from dreams and not reality?
why are boundaries set by men uncaring?
then naught to be broken by the few and daring?
it's an emotion unknown to the desolate -
a feeling destroyed by time -
or lack thereof?
are the divisions set in motion so unbreakable?
can’t a new way be forged by raw emotion?
why do our hearts remain so hidden?
i care for you and you for me -
why isn’t that enough for society?
just from fate or creed or race -
we are separated from our true hearts way -
never to know what could have been?
yet where are the rules that tell us so?
why can’t we change the past?
So as not to repeat our father’s mistakes -
it’s a four letter word - love
Reason for writing:
i wrote this poem because of an utter disgust for society’s restrictions on love - something which should have no bounds-
