#PoetKelsParlour: This Word Called Love

I have loved in life and I have been loved. 
I have drunk the bowl of poison from the hands of love as nectar, 
and have been raised above life’s joy and sorrow. 
My heart, aflame in love, set afire every heart that came in touch with it.
My heart has been rent and joined again; 
My heart has been broken and again made whole; 
My heart has been wounded and healed again; 
A thousand deaths my heart has died, and thanks be to love, it lives yet. 
I went through hell and saw there love’s raging fire, 
and I entered heaven illumined with the light of love. 
I wept in love and made all weep with me; 
I mourned in love and pierced the hearts of many. 
And when my fiery glance fell on the rocks, the rocks burst forth as volcanoes. 
The whole world sank in the flood caused by my one tear;
With my deep sigh the earth trembled, and when I cried aloud in grief. 
I shook the throne of God in heaven.
I bowed my head low in humility, and on my knees I begged of love, 
Disclose to me, I pray, the secret of true love.
I’ve been badly bitten with the illusions i believe to be. 
Yet am convinced there’s still one left in the corners of the world. 
I don’t want to believe there’s none…Maybe i rushed or Maybe i made wrong choices due to looks and affluence. 
Regardless of the fact that I’ve been hurt.. I still believe in LOVE. there’s still a true love out there.
