What is love?

What is love?

 

Fills the emptiness

Breaks the wave

Turns the head

Twists the fate

Destroys the expected

Shapes the form

Spoils the beauty

A silent call

Rouses the sleeping

Leadens the heart

Haunts my spirit

When we are apart

No, they're not.

This is a good 'list' poem. IMO, it generally supports both points of view, except for 'spoils the beauty' and 'leadens the heart'. Only those two lines steer the reader into 'tragedy'; all the others could be inferred either way, according to inclination.

Neat simple and sad . . . Shouldnt love be a celebration rather than an addiction though . . . Jus a thought for ya ?
