In line with the 14th of February, Valentines Day, I decided to search for romantics and their love poems and songs to get inspiration for my own writing. Whilst surfing the web I discovered many differing opinions on the true meaning of love and Valentines Day making claims that love is dead by people suffering break-ups which I wont link to due to some content issues! Yet there are some who still believe in ‘The Power of Love’. The global voices Valentines Day poetry contest blog has a competition running for the best love/valentines poetry. On seeing this I couldn’t help but have a go at writing an entry myself, the script for my scary story will have to wait for this one time opportunity.
Speak for we all have love
One day when sitting under the pier
I ask of you to take hold of my hand
And walk for a while on the cold gritty sand
So I can show you off to my friends, from a far distant land
How will we get there, you hastily add
(From here we can see the world)
As I show you my blog, this crazy new fad
To share our love to all who will see
This Valentines Day atrocity
If love is evil, and love is dead
(Through lover’s pain of breaking up)
Then what is here, but a morgue of red roses?
Love is much more, its hear as we speak
A united army of voices and souls
Take control of our world, cherish and speak
