others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

fashion

There was in a girl in class with curly hair
The long,luscious kind thats rare
The next day in class this girl was gone
She was now a straight haired clone

My friend is trying to become thin
so that she be the size thats in
Her curves are gone, her skin is pale
once a flower, she now looks stale

I look around at the world around me
Influenced by things so easily
Following so blindly what others say
or looking like them in a particular way

Trying so hard to be someone you are not
losing decency and dignity just to look 'hot'
think - In this race to do whats 'in',
aren't we losing the person within?

for love's sake only

If you do ever fall in love with me
Fall in love for love's sake only
Love me because you can't do anything but
Let the problem,cause and solution be love
love me like you breathe, naturally
love me because it feels right
Don't love me 'for' or 'beacuse' of something
Love me beacuse you love me

Don't love me bacause I sing sweetly
For this voice I may lose
Don't love me beacuse I'm pretty
For that chapter may close
Don't love me beacuse I'm independent
for one day I might depend on you
Don't love me because I know you
For one day I might forget that too
Don't love me because you can comfort me
For one day I may grow strong
Don't love me because i do whats is right
For one day I may go wrong
Don't love me because of the way I think
for I often lose my mind
Don't love me because we're similar
For I might take a diffreent path and not mind
Don't love me because I'm different
because there may be others my kind

Love me not for what I am but despite it
Love me not for what I have but whats left after it

Love me because you love me
And because of love only
Love me for love,my love
for that is the way I love you...
