This is the first in a series of short poems that I'm writing reflecting on different mental states. Today's poem focuses on the awesome power of love. Poetry down the ages has expressed the all consuming feelings of falling in love.
From William Shakespeare's famous Sonnet 18:
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And too often is his gold complexion dimm’d:
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance or natures changing course untrimm’d;
By thy eternal summer shall not fade
William Shakespeare, Sonnet 18
to contempory poets such as Kate Tempest:
Love's a joke till your blood's pulsing
love is real when you start choking
I'm double dropping in the vast ocean
state of me, mate.
Blatantly the way I was made.
Extract from Kate Tempest's book Let Them Eat Chaos
One thing is for sure... if music be the food of love, hopefully poetry can come a close second 😂
