What is Love?

[Boanerge]

This part of a verse that me and my brother did a song on:

What is Love?​

Love is Just, Love is Wise, Love will Correct you
Love is not partial, Love is not seen, Love will not reject you​

Love is Humble, Love is Meek, Love is Kind...
Love will take- your past mistakes- and leave it all behind​

Love Penatrates- through frozen Hearts
And heals the ones- that broke a part
Love hates to be divided- Cuz united love was- from the start!​

..selah...​

Love is a gift- that can be easily misused
Love becomes a curse- when it is spiritually abused​

The Opposite of Love, Is the Love of You- the Love of Self
Pride and greed- Where you dare to care Not for your brothers Health​

The Love of Flesh, the Love of Dust-
when you're looking at your sister- with Nothing more than burning Lust​

Listen!
That is not What love's about!​

you've heard it preached
so many times
And we're still
so filled with doubts?​

Love is not physical
Love is Spiritual
it will always be
and always was​

Love is not for some
It can't be hidden
its for you for them for us.​

Love conquers over evil
Love shines with all its Might​

Love Is the Dawn
that rises At the falling
of the Darkest Night!​

God is Love and Love is Power. Without Him Life will not be.​

I like it a lot. Both you and your brother obviously have talent. The only word I would avoid, unless this is a rap in which case you can get away with it, is 'cuz'. Try to avoid 'cuz', 'cause' and 'because' although this is not always possible - it can change the whole feel of your poem. This was a tip given to me a long time ago, although I cannot remember by who. I wrote a poem some time ago that rants on "fake love", also known as lust. I like your poem a whole lot more than mine - my poetry tends to be "preachy" sometimes. Keep posting.

Fools Gold

[font=geneva, verdana,helvetica,arial][size=-1]What sickness of the heart is this,
that tarnishes the lustre of love?

That to your eyes it may glitter,
And your gaze it may capture,
But it is not gold.
[/size][/font]
[font=geneva, verdana,helvetica,arial][size=-1]Yet that lie is still told.

Then when it no longer enwraps you,
And it no longer entraps you,
What prize have you won?

[/size][/font][font=geneva, verdana,helvetica,arial][size=-1]The allure has gone.[/size][/font]

hmmm.. i try not to preach but it can't be avoided! sometimes, things make so much sense, one has no choice but to preach what they learned.
