Love Me If You Can! Poem by Muhammad Ali

Love Me If You Can!

Rating: 5.0


Love me, if you can!
Love the hell, I have created!
Love my misfortunes!
Love the ugly face of hatred...
That I used to dream
All my afternoons

Love the poisonous jealousy...
With which in our way
Rather to die once, we all
Dying several times a day!

Love my greedy thirst
Quenches... giving me more thirst
I love this dirt on my mind
I love it very first!

Love me, if you can!

A very powerful poem. It asks someone to offer love....almost a dare. Very often we harvest the greatest metaphysical riches when we defy first impulses...and take up the dare. A great poem. A 10.

The contrast art is what you showed in the poem, I mean look at your poem hate me if you can This is a different dimension of it, i loved it Dear you tell the ugly things that you think you have But who is in the world has most perfect life...here and now So its not hard to love if we understand and accept Its not hard to love when we know that we ourselves also has flaw At least you tell the truth and warn, that actually sweet for a real friendship Honest, people tend to hate but the easiest is to love if they know For sure we all here can love you with no problem :) Nice poem Ali
