Lesson 31

Love
is better to make
than to write about.

Yet write I must for I think I can find love,
or its bones in these words. Or maybe,
the blood with which to infuse hearts
that are dry and unbeating nowadays.

I see a wave of people walk and talk,
in droves on streets all around the world
with hearts calcified. Maybe my words,
red with the blood of love, can wake them up;

can make hearts beat. What is poetry
if not a lover’s longing lilt looking to lift
their beloved’s eyes, and show them the world
is good, worth loving, and even worth living?

Love is better to make than write about, but
I love the world, and I love words. I love.

yes, probably that love doesn't need explanations
it is something that you understand while living it ?

these things i often thought about , loving takes great courage and one can badly break his heart .calcified hearts of the materialistic society don't come back to life for humans worship their own selves now
