Ways Of Showing Love And Comparison Of Love To Many Things Around Us
Love poetry and prose is meant to make the recipient feel treasured. This love literature can be hot, sweet, sentimental and more. Love poems can be long or short with themes addressed for relationships, teens and sad love. Many people prefer personalizing their love poems by composing them using their own words. This paper explores the fact that love can be shown in many ways and also can be compared with many things that even are around us. This paper will make use of three poems love’s philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley, No, Love is not dead by Robert Desnos and Christina Rossetti.
To begin with, poem is used to show that love belongs to two people. Percy Shelley reveals that everything is meant for something the fountains mingle with the river and rivers with the oceans and winds mix forever. This is a clear indication that things mingle by divine law. In this case, human are meant for each other. Everyone has someone who treasures them and whose destiny is established by divine law. With love Percy describes that there are emotions. These emotions are usually very sweet and enticing. When the poem mentions “Why not I with thine” the poet means that she or he is inviting their lover to take their love to the next level. They have to naturally and divinely express their love just like the mountains do to the rivers.
Percy also reveals that love is about intimacy. Intimacy comes which is characterized by kissing which stimulates desire. By saying “the mountains kiss high heaven,” Percy reveals that the poet has been in a relationship but that she would not value it much if kissing was not part of their relationship. Again, “if thou kiss not me” it is clear she is in an ongoing relationship and her desires needs to be stimulated every now and then like the sunlight clasps the earth. The poem is very clear on the fact that the mountains, sunlight, moonbeams and waves are compared to the element of kissing in love relationships.
Robert explains that love is living. This means that love is real and that it cannot be prevented from being especially in a heart where it had been sowed. It not just easy to forget love no matter how much one may confess against or keep their eyes off love. Robert is revealing to us that there are ups and downs in love, cruelty and tenderness but all this matters not where the matters of the heart are concerned. Love is far much willing to forget than suffer from the oppression of being deprived. “My love has only one name, one form” Robert makes it clear that his love is unchanging, unmoved and forever the same.
The meaning of his love remains strong when everything else disappears and loses meaning. He identifies himself as not changing as well. However, he regrets that the one he loves does not reciprocate his love and he fears she will only know about it when he is gone. Although his lover never realizes how much he loves her, he reminds her “tell yourself there is no need to regret…” as she will not be the first woman to contempt love. He himself identifies his love as “purest love” since he had no distrust or doubt on what he felt for her. Robert knows so well that not even death or old age will separate or break up his love for his lover because her smell, voice, radiant look among others will remain in him.
Love is about reciprocating ones feelings. Christina writes “I loved you first… your love outsoaring mine…” which indicates that to her lover, she expressed openly her feelings. The partner accepted her love and loved her even more than she had done with him. When love is reciprocated, there is no room to die off. Instead, it grows to a greater height since the two partners are comfortable and happy with the relationship. Love is also based on friendship since to an intimate friend one can do anything to make them feel appreciated.
Although Christina had loved her lover for long, his love for her was at the right time and strong enough to make her feel whole and strong. Even when knowing her weaknesses and strengths, her lover went ahead to value her for whom she is and not what she had or had not. Their love she says is blind and deaf as it doesn’t listen to, know or see the qualities of the other but only freely loves. To them “…One is both and both are one in love” which means they agree to leave their original lives and live a merged live that recognizes them as one entity not two separate selves. With such love, everything belongs to the two of them. This shows love is about surrendering all to start a new life of companionship where love is the wax to remaining strong and establishing a family. Love is compared to was whose role is to hold together and strongly.
