Valentine's Day
Love, by: Benet Lokossou, Year 3
My heart is all for you
Until my love is out
But love can never be out
And I am the one for you everyday
I kiss you.
What Is Love? By: Cyrian Kedowide, Year 10
Love, this alluring feeling
Irresistibly desired by one and all
Love, this emotion one does not choose
Uncontrollable, unavoidable, passionate and disastrous
Love, an act inevitable.
Can one refuse to love
Because one is afraid to suffer?
Then one must be afraid to sleep
Because one is afraid to die.
Love, a paradox.
Sometimes I think I need a spare heart
To feel what I perceive
Imagine love as a delicate flower
It opens when you nourish it with care
And blooms with time and experience
It’s the stem’s cry of beauty to the universe.
As with Love there’s nothing like loneliness
Because it lives over viewing experiences
Love is not just an, “I love you” or a “You look splendid.”
But it’s an, “If you fall, then we fall together.”
As if you didn’t sense it,
You wouldn’t feel that inner peace or bliss.
Love can be confusing, everything and nothing
When Love is so joyful, why does it give such heartbreak?
Love, poison to the heart, poison to the soul
Breaks your trust, leaving you wondering…
True Love, by Aina Xerri, Year 10
True love is a beautiful flame
That burns eternally
And none can dim its special glow
or change its destiny
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear
It gives with an open heart
It conquers fears
True love has no demands
Neither does it rule nor bind
And true love holds with gentle hands
The heart that it entwines.
