Lyle & Britten Wrote a Great One

“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” –Robert Frost

I’ve read my share of love poems.  When I am asked to voice my insight I tend to start with the poet.  I find the choice of words and the way they are fixed together very telling.  One can surmise if the poet reminisces for what has been or prays for what could be.  Sometimes it is both that are within the person’s fantasies; desires folded in layers and seeped in emotional longing.  A poem comes from the inner recesses of imagination, fantasy or ambition.  I believe it is the exceptional poet who knows from which emotional precipice they draw their idea of love from.  Far too many will not find the source and simply lay down a mash of words.
