I've looked at Love

I've looked at love, from my broken heart

Shattered pieces of lost hopes

Strangled dreams by harsh ropes

Joy and reality, worlds so far apart

I've looked at love, from our life under the same roof

Clouds of exaltation in a majestic sky

Cupids with gentle bows and arrows, flying by

Transcendental existence, as an everyday proof

I've looked at love, from both angles

Tears and smiles, gives and takes

Kisses and silence, dreaming and awake

The one that frees and the other that entangles

I've seen it rise and I've seen it fall

I've seen it chasing the wildest fantasy

I've seen it choking in poisonous blasphemy

I've seen it everywhere, I've seen it all

But I still look at love, I recall

Amazed and with wonder as an innocent child

By the sight of the new and the wild

While thinking to myself, perhaps I still don't know love at all. 

(Tadany - 11 11 14)
