"Love Is"

Love is vulnerability:
The chance to find,
To explore,
To forget,
And to ignore
The small and subtleties.
 
I agree with this until the last sentence. I love someone because of their subtleties. Love does make me ignore the big picture and the outside world, but it makes me concentrate on the tiny things that define the person I love.
 
The poem explains that you explore and find these subtleties as well. Not necessarily just throw them out all together. What is being conveyed is that the choice is yours... you choose what you love. And, most importantly, it was not my intention or interpretation as a reader that the "small and subtleties" refer to love. Instead, the world around the lovers. The small shit in life doesn't matter so much when something as powerful as love breaks through. Everything becomes a big picture. BUT, I agree with you... actual love should be just as you describe. His/her laugh, the way the sun reflects off of his/her hair on a spring day...
 
That last sentence actually makes sense to me. There are some subtleties about some people I would rather ignore. But yeah, love should be an adventure, and I like how you've expressed that in so few words.

oh man. youre really into this girl! i hope you have my number if somethin goes wrong...if not PM me..

as for the poem, you missed a part. or...maybe i just disagree. you didnt mention the pain, the anguish, any of the downsides. love is pain is love.

i like the idea tho- and the presentation, short and sweet. to the point. ignoring 'small subtleties' isnt always a good thing tho (even tho that SHOULD go in slr).
 
Well, attention should be paid to the title. Love Is... it simply is what it is. Yes, it's tremendous pain and this particular instance didn't turn out well but it doesn't matter. My life is not always optimistic so I guess I like to project some optimism into my writing... which I'm starting to see doesn't really compare to the progressive, more elevated poetry that's usually posted around here. I just write for the hell of it, not really for an audience, anyways.

By the way, wesmdow knows me very personally so he knows why I write the way I do.
 
Love is unable to generalize, or categorize. It's complete understanding for another... and everyone thinks they understand/love one another in different ways - it's all your own interpretation! cute poem walrus

Actually,that part comes when one is still in love rather than both. As long as there is that balance,whatever pain you indure,you're induring it together. The pain and anguish seem so overwhelming because you're now dealing with it alone. Elequent as always,wasted.
 
I enjoyed it a lot.

Even though it seems like something one might read on a epitaph or the bible. It expresses one of the most complex and emotional feelings eloquently yet bluntly, but still makes you think.

Love is, indeed :)

youre right. its all candy and roses.8(

REAL love doesnt have any downsides to it, of course.

*sigh
 
just wait. your poems are gonna shift from being all happy and love filled to angst ridden and full of pain when this is over.

im looking forward to it in a sick way. ;)
 
^ i hope for your sakes walrus, that he's wrong. although i do enjoy a good angst ridden poem every once in a while.
 
The whole love thing with this girl already failed but I have something few can cultivate afterwards... perspective and understanding. So screw you pierre ;).

By the way, there IS and angst-ridden poem now posted but it's about my overdose... nice try guys :).
