Write about love

March 29, 2015

"How can you write about something you know nothing about?"

I know that I know not how far down

The ocean hollows;

But what I understand

Is that if I were to be alone with the waves

It wouldn't be long

Before I drowned.

I know that I know not how hot the temperature of the sun remains;

But I know that if my fingertips kissed it's rim

That my hand would fall to ashes

And the rest of me would follow.

I write about love,

In which I know nothing about.

I know that I know not of all the aspects that it holds;

But I know that if I were to fall,

I wouldn't only be drowned in love,

But crushed by it too.

-m.c.-
