On Love

By: Nina Kirby

Love as one knows is a powerful thing,

It makes a brain think, 

a heart want, 

a spirit sing.

Love is bright as a summer’s day,

light as a cloud,

joyful as kids at play.

Love makes,

and love breaks,

making you rise higher,

Love is a fire.

The ride is crazy,

but the flame is stubborn,

shining brightly,

Love is not hazy.

Love is a riddle,

with little direction,

Love makes you go mad,

For Love is an infection.

But it also makes you feel,

For love is strong,

And love is real.

Chasing the Forbidden

By: Miriam Diaz

Love is gentle and sweet

It does not falter it does not fail

But your love fails

It is far away

Your love is prohibited

My soul searches for you

but it doesn’t find you

My hand reaches out for yours

but your hand is far away

it does not hold my hand back

I desire to be next to you

to feel your warmth

your heart

your soul

to see you whole

I cannot see you

My body aches for yours

but it is not allowed

to see the one person I most love

but I am not allowed. 

Love Poem

By: Josias Medina

Love is like a rose so bright,

Growing stronger day and night,

It’s in the hugs, the laughs we share,

A feeling that shows we care.

Love is kind, love is true,

Love is family, love isn’t mute,

Love is mutual too,

It’s in everything we do

Love

By: Hanna Van Aalsburg

A little flame lighting up a room

two hearts

one beat

the quiet touch of hands

eyes that speak

a thousand words

roses

A flourishing hope

Even the silence understands

Laughter heard

for lifetimes to come

Love It’s not in the grand and perfect things

But the thrill of the small things to come

an eternal bond

one that never can be undone
