Love is a very desired and sought for experience without one
knowing the full range of emotions that accompany it. In the
midst of love are euphoria, excitement, passion, and constantly
wanting to be in the presence of your lover. However there is
much angst, fear, threats of loss, separation and abandonment
coinciding with the exhilaration.
The question arises, “Is the ecstasy
of falling in love worth the ever present risk of the despair of
losing the love?" Most do not consider the question at the
beginning and proceed to fall in love. Only after lost love
does one question this risk of falling in love again. Many
lovers stay in this question and never resume. Others continue
to pursue the elusive love, but more tenuously, while some brave
hearts leap again and again into that unknown abyss that always
welcomes
These love poems and stories attempt to express the wonders of love
along with the risk, so that lovers may identify and understand
their experiences in the world of love. By no means is this the
total picture of love nor will it be identical to your love
song, as love is similar and different, universal and
individual.
