Love Is Old

I wrote this last semester, it is a little out there, I know. But I like it because it is open to whatever interpretation you want. My professor last semester, however, did not like it.

Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
but all is old
And you are new
how old in age
But all so true
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you.
You, the love that is new
And I, the love of old
Will all but dance the lovers’ tale
Though I have given the chance to
You, the love that is new
And I, the love of old.
But as hands intertwine
As the words spoken divine
Hushes of ‘I do’
Ring ah, but true.
Love like the old,
But embrace the new
All is you, as all is I
Like love’s new and old truth
All which in you now rings.

(Based on The Beatles piece, Because)

  1. Love is such a ‘pure’ theme... and, lovely that this poem was inspired by the Beatles!
