Poetry Is Made Up Of Love Poem by Ana Z. M.

Since I was a little girl,
I loved to write some poetry of a kind.
My inspirations were all about nature,
too young to taste life experiences.

At my thirteenth birthday,
you came to my empty life,
you fell in love with me,
and so I fell in love with you.

You made me happy,
you made me sad,
you made me smile,
you made me cry.

And for all that we went through,
almost two years of pure joy,
you were my my inspiration,
my poetry creator.

Still my poems weren't so good,
inspirational poems,
seemed to be missing something,
maybe a better muse.

Suddenly, before my fifteenth birthday,
you disappeared from my sight,
you left me far behind,
but still you were too close to my heart.

Not being able to feel you close again,
has broken my heart,
in a way i know pain won't end,
and heart won't heal.

After a long time,
I started writting again,
but i started writting with a broken heart,
a feeling I had never experienced before.

Poetry was my only escape,
my poems were all made up of feelings and thoughts.
No more additional nonsense words,
invented just to make four lines look pretty for a heart.

True poetry,
is the one made up of words that come from the bottom of your heart,
is the one that shows true feelings,
those from a heart who has the experience and wisdom to know what they feel.

And so I conclude,
poetry is made up of love,
'cause there's no feeling that touches the most,
than a true love, a heart experience.
