Not a love poem

Writing about love should be easy. It is all about expressing your most positive feelings.

The words should be flowing like the water of a cataract, the satisfaction and happiness streaming like a tidal wave.

It is anything but...

Writing about love is a form of art and as far as I've experienced art requires a great deal of effort.

It demands each word to pushed out of you like the birth of a child. 

Hard, laboured, breathless work.

Performance that leaves you tired and empty.

This is writing about love. 

Unrequited or not, romantic or troubled, happy or difficult

Love expresses itself like the water of a broken dam, sweeping everything in its path and claiming it forever as its own.

KISSES!
