Love Madness Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two. - Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières   Title Date Posted Date Created Ratings Votes Creativity Form Imagery Overall   A Day Without End 01/2/2010 04/03/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Always By Your Side 01/13/2010 10/04/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Breath and Love 12/27/2009 01/06/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Checkmate: Your Move 01/11/2010 04/20/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Crystal Moments 01/11/2010 04/10/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Crystal Moments Again 01/11/2010 05/10/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Deep Love 01/15/2010 05/04/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Details And Distractions 01/11/2010 05/12/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Devotion To A Higher Purpose 01/1/2010 11/24/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Distracted By Love 01/15/2010 05/12/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Emote 01/11/2010 06/26/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Eternal Twin Flames 01/2/2010 04/09/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Express Feelings Not Words 12/29/2009 03/20/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Fallen Oaks Live Again 02/16/2010 05/23/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Finding Light Again 01/2/2010 03/31/2009 1 Brilliant Outstanding Flow Vivid Memorable   Hear Home Calling Us 01/14/2010 10/18/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Here Comes Our Nature 12/29/2009 10/12/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   How It Feels To Be Loved Enough 01/14/2010 10/17/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Incontrovertible Poetry Within Poetry 01/2/2010 04/09/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   In-Love With Falling 01/13/2010 11/20/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Let Fate Decide My Demise 01/3/2010 05/28/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Let Fate Decide My Demise - unedited 01/3/2010 05/28/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Light and Hope 12/27/2009 05/09/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Love Is Blind 01/3/2010 04/04/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   Love Is The Home It Knows 01/11/2010 07/08/2009 This Poem Is Currently Not Rated   |< First Displaying Rows 1 - 26 of 43 Next >> - Last >|
