Love, The Dove



I nurtured a dove
Whom I named love
For quite a while
She was a selenophile
Love gazed at the moon
As it made her swoon
Her gorgeous ruffles shone bright
In the night light
Love was a delight
I wanted to keep her safe
In my embrace
Forever, I recall
Little did I know
Forever was an illusion
Flying high and free was her decision
She was a queen
Of everyone's dream
But all she wanted was to fly and never look back
I was sad, taken aback
As she whispered her wishes
To my face
My heart sank
As I drank
the pain away
accepting her way
to let her sway
and off she went
Her wings spread like a tent
looking like a star
While I wonder
If she'll ever come back
I know she will never
I can't let go, however
I wish for her peace and happiness
Knowing she will win over the world with her finesse
Even though I and LOVE Part ways
She'll own my heart always

About this poem

Love, The Dove is a poem that I wrote at late at night, way after midnight while I was having flashbacks of my past. It is a poem that can be interpreted in many different ways. This poem has more than one meaning, it knocks deep into your hidden feelings, those feelings that you carry around, feelings that hurt you but doesn't get in your way, those feelings you have made peace with but sometimes, when you are alone at night, you get a sudden jolt and this is what this poem is. Let me know your thoughts about this.

Hi! I'm Airene. I'm a human embodiment of cat with a little panda. I write to live, and I live to write. Writing is the only thing I know. I have a small blog of my own where I publish whatever I want and I write poems very rarely. Short stories are more my thing but I love reading poems the most. I got to know about this site from my cousin and now whenever I write poems, I'll send them here. I'll also post the rest of my poems. Thanks for stopping by  more…
