Poetry is just one of them
And what a beautiful one it is!

and unbearable frustration unless he expresses his inner life in some creative way"

"If you do not touch, you do not live. If you seal yourself away inside your barriers,

have no way of knowing if the pain you feel now might not bring you to love again."

' There are quiet times of romance and there are romantic
highs during which lovers feel alive, full of music and
poetry, and life takes on new meaning. Romance is an
attitude. It is a man and woman being alive to one
another .. It is an atmosphere .. a look that speaks
more eloquently than words, a squeeze of the hand
as you pass each other in a crowded room, a pat on the
head or the shoulder for no particular reason.. Romance
is an element of fascination and delight that culminates
in a deep desire to experience all of life
with the one we love. '
~Joan Winmill Brown & Bill Brown~

' Love is a short word, but it contains all:
it means the body, the soul, the life, the entire being.
We feel it as we feel the warmth of the blood,
we breath it as we breathe the air, we carry it in ourselves
as we carry our thoughts. Nothing more exists for us.
It is not a word; it is an inexpressible state
indicated by four letters .... '
~by Guy de Maupassant~

With love so sudden and so sweet,
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower,
And stole my heart away complete.
