What is Love?:

What is love but a simple impulse
An electrical signal that comes from the brain.
What is love but a debilitating sickness
It weakens us utterly from the waves of pain.

To what do we owe the pleasure of love
Does it come from a matter of personal taste?
To what do we owe the pain of love
As though all of our efforts are put to waste...

Why do we seek to fall in love
Is it because we fear a death alone?
Or perhaps there is a darker reason
One for which we need to atone...

Rationalise carefully, your reason for love
Perhaps the truth is deeper than you think.
Is your partner a genuine object of affection
Or simply a piece of the missing link?

Love can be a wonderous anchor
It brings us down to the safety of sanity
But abuse it once, and you will suffer
Such is the gift of humanity...

"Yet even with these weighty words, I am still a slave to love..."

Arrr me hearties, another bonus release.

This one inspired by :iconlyrajolt:. Also I did promise someone I'd take a shot at romance.

As you can see, I didn't do a very good job of portraying anything romantic. Most of what I do ends up on a dark turn, but to me that's fine xD.

I suppose it's something like my personal style and I like it that way.

Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy it. I'm off to catch some shut-eye and then more message clearing in the mornin' xD

I think my better pieces are the gloomy things too.. but if you want to know what finding love does to you as a writer, do check out the series I have down on my profile; It's a collection of five poems I wrote for someone! It starts with 'I. Blessed Rosacaea' and ends with 'V. Anne'!, The Roman numbers will guide you through
This is great what you've done, but I like to explore the lovely sides of things as much as the dark side! As a great writer who is engaged in similar subjects as me, I'd be honoured to have you comment on some of my these pieces :D ....
Again great job here :D ... :D
