Can I Buy Your Love Poem by Sulaiman Mohd Yusof

Can I Buy Your Love

Rating: 4.0


Hey girl, can I buy your love
I want you but I’m not rich
I want you but I’m not good looking
My father says, man can’t buy a woman’s love
Unless she loves you
May I ask what love is?
How come no woman loves me
I’ve tried so many times
It’s always a failure
Ended up when she learnt
That I’m not rich
That I’m not educated
That I’m not good looking


What will happen to people like me?
I guess I’d end up married
To the woman who shared
The same fate as me
For, they too have not much choice
To choose


So, what love is?
Could someone define love?
For, I don’t get the right answer
Until I get the right woman
Meaning of love
Would reveal
The truth

Love that is for sale is not love; for true love is given voluntarily out of the abundance of the heart.

He’s rich and he loved her- She is poor and she doesn’t love him-but her parents forced her to marry him- he know she doesn’t love him-he showered her with gifts and marry her- he know still she doesn’t love him- but he never stop loving, he never stopped caring and never stop showing her… she fell in love, she fell in love- with him-SO LOVE COULD RECIPROCATE …

This is a sad piece that captures only so well what a man (and woman) feels when they lack those merits of attraction. It is something that so many of us feel and this poet has identified it. Very cleaver line about the woman you would marry being the same rejected person as you. Very good work

maybe we can buy love, but this price can be paid with money... is paid with life! the sad thing is that we can give our life to the loved person, and still we wont own them... unfair, sad, but truth... I guess! lol
