A Ghazal Poem

You only get one chance at love;

Two people bound by intimate emotions and the strong will of togetherness; love.

They feel whole when together and each day their love grows and sparks radically,

 

A white bird swirls around them.

It is known as a dove the symbol, of love.

 

On their wedding day, the attention is focused towards them,

In hopes, this strong relationship will be covered in honest love.

They each say I do,

And seal their commitment with a kiss.

 

In hope,

That this hatred,

Between families of disagreement on choice of bride will not put a strain over their love.

 

Brittney, why must you speak of love as if there is such a true thing?

Some find it and others do not, so why put faith in a thing so called love?
