Description I wish love was the wind that carries me away,
and like in a dream, birds would fly all around.
I wish it was a ship, to sail in the newborn day,
hiding my thoughts, to keep them safe and sound.

I wish love was a cloud, all dark grey and weary,
to float right above, and release on me its anger.
I wish it was a secret, hidden in a green prairie,
hurting to come out, leaving my chest asunder.

I wish love was a star, the sky’s brightest sight,
and make me wonder, how did I get so pale.
I wish it was heaven’s apple, waiting for a bite,
so that I would know it is my destiny to fail.

I wish love was two eyes, so young and clear,
burning like fire, to cast myself into their flame.
I wish love could come to find me now, here,  
and  I would embrace it without a bit of shame.

*swoon* this is a really meaningful poem... it remings me of the pictures i've seen of the coast in ireland...arhh.....i dont know why....

it matches the picture beautifully too....

this is how i intepret it...this woman in a castle with a man she's bethrothed to.... um... dosent have any other guy outside but dosent love the man she's married to either.... so in a way she never experienced love....

so she tries to compare it with the beauties of nature... something like that...

dont come and kill me if this is not how you interpreted it ok!!! heh

well,what's great with art..is that it is extremely personal...it is not meant to have a specific meaning for all who appreciate it
everybody gives it the meaning they wish
