What is Love? (Found Poem)

Sweet flower’s fragrance (Tanka)

Love is Power Love is power. the sun set, loneliness touches your heart; Gorilla tires you apart, if love never jostle into your skull. A laggard need love to be motivated. It can just be aiding with bonanza or showing up with one red, thorny flower. Loud or slow love songs can rise you up as high as a sky rocket or drag you down all the way to a horror, underground railroads. Love is power. Listen to the beat of your heart; pumpum. The more support, the faster you evolve through hardships in life. Clap! Clap! Clap! People congratulate your accomplishment. Love is power. Love carry you away from darkness; love from friends and family give you hope. The hope to do better, The hope to strive forward.

Love can Create and Destroy Love can make you cry or light your dark side. Love can make you angry and start a fight. Love can make you shy and just want to hide. Love can make you fly high to touch the light. Patient keeps a relationship going. Envy less to contain less argument. Be self conscious of what you are doing. Love can be as fluent as instrument. Silence may occur but love is fine art. Trust varies love so people should not cheat. Be open minded, you can be outsmart. Learn your mistake so you will not repeat. Love can make you blind until you reach light. Love can make you fly so high in the night.

Love Destroy You Love is pain in the butt.

Flattery's end relationship; it creates jealousy. Arguments of yelling, screaming, and shouting; and all of a sudden, family falls apart.

Darkness is at your feet.

The Couple What is love? Since the beginning, love was broken Like a thief in the night, it always breaks in. It tore down the divine themselves. It will now tear us down because we are compelled to search, to love, and to break. Left with scars which scream “Was this a mistake?” Love is cruel. Somehow the things you want never really seem to kill The things you need kill you slowly like taking pills. Lay down on a bed all cozy All the while death soundlessly creeps up. Perhaps a teardrop fell. No doubt most have dried up. Take me back to the old days. Where you said I love you. Where you said I love you. So nostalgic, this feeling. What a peculiar experience. How

When Where will it end? A kiss? It’s too early It’s not the right time. I still feel butterflies violently fluttering in my stomach. Just being near makes the drum beat. I think it’s about time I said “okay”. I really want to. I really want to. For the Good Mornings and Hello. For the Later’s and Goodbyes. I think it’s time. Another day Another place Together with you Together with you Same sky Different view I wish I wish that we could stay like this forever

that we won’t change But something like that is impossible right? Is what we thought before the waves came crashing in. The love between us kept me The love between us kept me Strong Faithful Happy Hopeful I couldn’t fall asleep Reality was finally better than my dreams. What is love? Since the beginning, love was weak Like a thief in the night, it took us apart. So how When Where did it end? We changed

We changed our minds our hearts our wants our needs Under the same sky Different view We changed.

Without pain and gain What can we ever hope to achieve in life?

Warm hugs and kisses With plenty more love to give You are my sunshine.

Flower Love is like a flower. You start out as a seed, And wait till your turn to rise. Then you sprout out of your seed, As you found someone special. After months, Or maybe years, You fully become a full grown flower. Each petal tells a story, Of how we enjoy our lives together. And the center is the most memorable of all: The day you and I are together for life. Although we start to wither away, Our love will spread with the wind So that our love will forever be strong.

Money Can’t Buy Love *Cha Ching* *Cha Ching* You bought something. Then you give it to her. It is something big as a bear. Next thing you know, You lost all your money, And now you’re broke. Now she leaves you, And now you’re alone. As the saying goes “Money can’t buy love.”

Treat me Like I Treat You I will fly over the ocean to you. I will bring you something to cheer you up. Whenever you become sad or mad Even if you are sick to death, don’t care. I hope you do the same to me, be fair. If I do this, I hope you do it well. I put all my time to be there for you. If you don’t do the same to me as well, We might as well not be one together. All and all, I put my life on the line To make your life memorable to you. If you don’t accept this as a good thing, I have wasted my life to support you. Now this is the end, I wish you good luck.

The End You should forget about me

You should forget about me I don’t see why I should

Because I am a nightmare

I would ruin your life I will in the future

But you haven’t

I will in the future

You don’t know what I’ll do

But it hasn’t happen

Just wait and see I am a nightmare

But you’re not a nightmare

I am a nightmare

Again, I’ll ruin your life

No you won’t I will never let it happen

Just let go of me You don’t know what will happen

You don’t know what will happen

But you don’t either

You can’t tell the future Just forget about me If you love me, then forget about me If you love me, then forget about me

*sigh* as you wish, my Queen

War I take my last breath and quietly wait All around me dead tattered bodies loiter Looking down crimson blood trickles from my wounds Boom! Boom! Boom! As missiles fly across the sky a piercing scream is heard There is nothing I regret All I have done is for the ones I love My family

Difference of Love I was born with love

I was born void of love

Everyday I woke up to my family Everyday I woke up to my reflection Everyday I welcomed a nice warm meal Everyday I welcomed the trash for food Life is wonderful

Life is rotten

I spend my day playing with friends I spend my day running from others I spend my days being praised and showered with gifts I spend my day being scolded and showered with punches At the end of the day I come to a home At the end of the day I come to nothing At the end of the day I come home to a full stomach At the end of the day I come home to an empty stomach At the end of the day I come home to a warm bed At the end of the day I come home to a cold floor Life is good

Life is cruel

What is Love? Love is the most powerful emotion a human being can experience But there are seven types, so what’s the difference? First and foremost is storge, the love you share with family Please don't be confused with love for your country Next is philia love of friends with significance All for the sake of gaining acceptance Following is eros which won’t be covered heavily Maybe because we should treat it cannily Then there is agape or also known as divine love You know, the love from the man above Ludus comes next which is playful love For those with no match it might be rough Most importantly is pragma love in a married couple Of course with it comes double the trouble In the end all that’s left is “philautia the love of the self” That’s right, in the end we all care about ourselves Don't abuse the word love or people will complain Especially since it will become mundane It is easy to understand that a confusion is easy made while communicating You might not even know it but this can be something that you’re doing What you feel is controlled by the right side of your brain and language is controlled by your left Basically what you say might not mean what you suggest

The word love should not be used in vain Unless you want to be in a world of pain Use other words where you are not addressing emotion towards other people In order to avoid making them look equal The word "love" is difficult to understand, and even more difficult to express to other person It is only defined by your own assertion With the creation of a word, you can give it a special meaning Take your time just make it appealing

Sweet flower’s fragrance Frantically, my heart throbs I glance, our eyes meet Her long hair drifts in the wind I am filled with happiness
