"It’s Something Like…..But Not Quite"
  by RedLoveSong


It’s something like
Kissing in the rain
You don’t even care about
Getting your hair wet
‘Cause it feels so good
It doesn’t even matter
What a mess you’ll look like
When it dries…

It’s something like
The last bite of a home cooked meal
You take your time eating it
‘Cause you want to savor the flavor
You don’t know when the next time
You’ll be able to experience
Those glorious sauces and spices
That only your mom does so well

It’s something like
The transition in a song
When you go from singing in unison
And break into 3 or 4 part harmony
The blend is perfect
The melody is so beautiful
You just want to close your eyes
And take in every note carefully

It’s something like
Not having the gift of sight
But putting your trust in
The person that is leading you around
Without a worry
‘Cause you know they won’t let you fall
But if you do
They’ll pick you up, dust you off
And put you back on the right path again



It’s something like that but not quite
Though the words are insufficient
That’s the best way I can describe
How it feels to be loved by God
It’s an incomparable love
An indescribable love
An extraordinary love

Maybe that’s why it’s so hard for me
To settle for an ordinary love
‘Cause I’ve experienced an extraordinary love
From the Definition of Love Himself
He really has set the bar so high

If you have not tried His love
You should
I guarantee you’ll never be the same
You’ll never fully understand
Until you’ve felt it for yourself
And you’ll finally know what it means to feel real love
What it means to be loved to the core of you
And I promise
You’ll never settle for counterfeit love again

This is a very beautiful poem. I like the way you used relateable experiances and descriptions so we can see ourselves in the poem. This poem has very unique rhythm and repitition that draws you in it sort of.... Keep up the great work. Not many people can make a great poem about God. Great job. 10starrzzzz.....
