love conquers all

i am a ravenous tiger
an unquenchable hunger
masters my wild soul

run away! far away

i am a meek house
my sole purpose in life
is to protect and comfort

come and go as you wish

i am a pail of stagnant water
quivering at the slightest touch
but there's a sea storm

leave me be and it goes stronger

i am a weary bird
quavering wings
barely keep me in air

i need soft, warm branches

i am a big, big tree
take my wood, fruit, sap
take me, take me

i give you my all

i am a human being
with the power to create
and destroy

but love conquers all

it's good. but somehow, i don't feel the impact. i don't feel it. i don't know. perhaps, i'm numb to everything now. :/

haha... that's ok... sick of using too pungent words. i seprerated the audience from the poem. and i've hidden my meaning deep. so it's not you... it's me!
