I was trying to write poetry about love.So I turned to my music. These songs, for me, are as close as it gets to defining love. Find them. Listen to them.
Walk Away -Ben Harper
Crash Into Me -Dave Matthews Band
Collide -Howie Day
Such Great Heights -The Postal Service (cover by Iron & Wine)
Longest Time -Billy Joel
Out of My League -Stephen Speaks
Love and Some Verses -Iron & Wine
What songs define love for you? I wants to know.
Yeahsopoems.
Write?
About love?
But all you've given me
Is pen
And paper.
I can only write with words.
Absurd obscure words
Rendered meaningless
Meaning less
And less
By a feeling
A song
A moment
By a pair of eyes
And I
For my life
Can't speak words
Words so dear
For fear
Of giving them my last breath
Breathing broken by a brisk
Breathtaking glance
Hold your stance
Weak at the knees and nothing to hold onto
But this word
Love.
