Love or Something Like It
Poets have produced some of the most beautiful pieces on love and yet to date nobody has really ever been able to capture the sheer insanty of being in love, or at least thinking that one is in love. Erm…I should speak for myself. So tell me (yes you) how many of you have been destroyed by Cupid’s sickly sweet heart tipped arrow? *meekly raises own hand*
Well…whatever. The thing is that life as a kid is black and white, right and wrong. As the years roll by, well… shit happens. Why the hell is life so complex right now. Not just love but everything. Why can people not take something at face value? Why does every little itty bitty thing have to be examined and over-examined till there really is nothing left to examine?
Back to love…I dunno. Never been successful at it. Yet it always occupies a corner of my mind. When will I ever learn. Sometimes I wish I were P.B. Shelley’s skylark—
“Thou lovest: but ne'er knew love's sad satiety”

I'm also at JU by the way :D
Yes, "Poets have produced some of the most beautiful pieces on love...". I suggest you read W.B. Yeats' 'He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven'.
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Cheers!!

PS: It will make a cool V'day note as well ;)
thank you all for your suggestions. sorry for having taken such a long hiatus from replying to your comments. pre-puja class tests have occupied a lot of my time.
i will definitely try and go through all the poems you have recommended...
thanx
Hey,
yeah u bet it's s much easier being a kid,all black and white. This girl is bad so she's not my friend types. Ya, I love Shelley's Skylark too, even our pleasantest song is tainted with sorrow(gross misquote i know but still!) We did that in ISC.
