Things we do for a little Love, An Original Poem

in #poetry7 years ago

Time we kill,
for a little love.
Sacrifice friendships,
for a little love.
Money dies,
for a little love.

Distances traveled,
otherwise untraveled.
Things we'd never do
now seem terribly inviting.
Love makes the world go round.
Makes people seem blind.
It makes the strong weak
and the weak strong.
Lives destroyed, lives saved.
Lives created by love untamed.
Just a little love is all it takes...

Imma travel the world,
search for feelings untamed.
Hoping that in the end,
I won't remain a man unchanged.

But love's a jungle, I'm telling you.
At every corner, hides something new.

Beautiful but deadly,
with treasures a plenty.
Skeletons just the same.

Don't trust your eyes,
for it makes you blind.
Don't trust your heart,
for it, love is divine.

Only trust that quiet voice,
lost inside your head.
Never underestimate
the advice that you get.
IF a treasure you find,
still pay it mind.
The voice will say,
if your heart touch it may.

There are treasures a plenty,
for everyone to find,
but there's just one for you,
so pay the others no mind.

And that's why so many get lost in the jungle...

Its beauty unmatched,
its dangers horrendous.
And still I'd go through it
for an adventure endless.

Great imagery! The poem seems to flow as if it's a song. Really nice!

Thank you very much, I had some problems with Pixabay this time, had to use shutterstock :( . Flow is very important to me, yeah.

Have a grand day ! :)

Pixabay is good but sometimes does not have everything you are looking for. You can also use Google Images. Go to Google Images, click Settings / Advance Search, type the words describing your photo and for Usage rights select Free to use, share or modify even commercially.

Thank you, I definitely will try that ! :))

Great poem man! The price is high and the pain is great but still we want it, for the rewards are priceless...

Thank you, you're very kind. I'm not really used to writing longer stuff like this, so your words really help :)
