Love is truly the rightful domain of mavenism and in deed and practice I have a rich past as a desperate romantic, existentialist. And I have some poetry to prove it.
But love for me has been very painful and destructive at times. (Once i applied for special consideration when sitting uni exams .. my justification was unrequited love.. and to this day I maintain it was justified)- you can laugh.
Love can come in many forms and manifest for multiple objests of affection, intimacy, crush, beloved... and simultaneously, too. I have learnt that much and I've learnt that I'm not strong enough to be immune to .. well myself... in the past... even now.
And as with anger and desire for vengence, sometimes, its best to take an antidote to this crazy and most voluptuous of passions. You can't deny these things but you can temper and sublimate. Appeal yourself for time, to time...
But were Romeo and Juliet preaching against love when they perished of their love? and Tristan and Isolde?

Funny how it finds us. Like the watched kettle that never boils. And how it can consume us if we do not temper...
ReplyDeleteMust needs know ourself. Still, not always an safe haven, not always a guarantee that we won't turn to preaching against some day.
Usually when we do, though, it is for want of a deeper understanding of, a deeper experience of.
Nice post, Gavgams...
