[quote=orpheus]Love is about liberation and can only be experienced by the young of heart. What ever is in a person's heart, that they shall be. To write of love is to write of who you are, love poems, Erato's fruits, reflect whatever you give it as nourishment. To equate love with sadness is to deny possibility. To claim ignorance of it is to think of it as it is idealised and not as it really is. Love can be answered by questions: 'what is worth living for?', 'what is worth dying for?' 'what does my vision of love say about me?'. Of all things on earth, love is the only thing that keeps us human and that is why we write about it. All love poems, to me, answer these three questions. I am a cynic when it comes to affairs of the heart, it reflects in my poetry. Many people are just in a rush to win favour and say and do things to put them in favourable light. To be honest is the hardest thing of all, especially with the self. Keep writing artfully.[/quote]
