Love: A Definition

What is love
But the absence of hate?
An echoing void
Into which we create

What is love
But a pardon of sin?
A feeble excuse
For those of our kin

What is love
Is it lust, is it more?
Does it kindle desire
Or highlight the flaw?

If only love
Could be simply defined
To set ourselves free
From it's coils that bind

If only love
Was always the same
No more second guessing
No more blame.

Mystery

I wish life could remain just a mystery. Not planned out to become just history. When did the time of the unknown become old. To remain in books with pages to unfold. Where did all of that magic go.

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who's the fairest of them all. Who's the ugliest, the worst, Who is treasured, Who is cursed. Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who will rise and who will fall.
