thanks

wonderful poem there beautiful ;)... It's well written and well thought
out. I especially like the scheme of the piece...very nice. The
resolve at the end is hopeful with a twinge of mystery...you don't let
anyone think life will just be peachy but there's hope. Something more
than just a feeling or a shadow of a fleeting but genuine hope in things
achieving the ultimate state (i.e. Love).

ttyl (hopefully we can talk tomorrow)

Hey Beauty

I believe that love is a risk, but I don't think I agree with the
results in your poem. In my opinion (not to knock ur poem, it definitely
makes you think-- gone girl!) I am against the notion people make when
they say "Love is Pain" and "Pain is Love". No person would constantly
seek or crave that which hurts or disturbs them. No one wants pain, but
everyone wants love, or seeks some form of love or adoration of self and
acceptance. Love is not pain. Love is that goodness, that fullness, that
fulfillment one wants to attain. People seek to rid themselves of pain-
hence the word painkiller. Its the absense of love or the dwindling,
disappearing, and fading of love which causes the pain... which leads to
the healing, the changing, and the risking to attain that trueness of
love.

ah, but if love itself does not bring us pain then can it be called
love...love by its very nature opens us to risks and pains that normally
we would not take or endure. It is not to say that love wants or
desires pain, but that pain for better or worse accompanies love. In
the end I don't think that love can truly be known without a sense of
acute pain that can only come from love.
