You need to read more literature, then you'd understand that Gibran's words were not pertaining to such.

Poor show, my man. (or woman , or it?) 😛

It's my fault the author failed to say what he meant? 😛

Love is…
Love is feeling cold in the back of vans
Love is a fanclub with only two fans
Love is walking holding paintstained hands
Love is.
Love is fish and chips on winter nights
Love is blankets full of strange delights
Love is when you don’t put out the light
Love is
Love is the presents in Christmas shops
Love is when you’re feeling Top of the Pops
Love is what happens when the music stops
Love is
Love is white panties lying all forlorn
Love is pink nightdresses still slightly warm
Love is when you have to leave at dawn
Love is
Love is you and love is me
Love is prison and love is free
Love’s what’s there when you are away from me
Love is…

Love is like a bank.

You go in.
There's a lot of fumbling around.
Eventually you will make a deposit.
Sooner or later you make a withdrawal.
Then at the end of it all you lose interest.

Sexual reference aside,
first four lines are wise words. Last's not always true,
even though it's necessary for the metaphor.

Another way of looking at 'love' might be to look
at the objects of our love. Places and Things pass away;
People we keep and cherish forever.

Sad to say, this site will bite dust one day.
Memories of Russ, Chris and a few nicknames
will be remembered by younger generations.

That's why he's the third biggest selling author of all time, after Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu??

Seems everybody else gets his words. 😉

Most people would be on his wavelength at least some of the time. He's one of my favourites when I'm in the mood for that kind of stuff, which admittedly isn't often. 🙁

I think this poem could also have be named "Young love", that is how I read it.

Argument from authority doesn't work on me. I'd rather see actual reasons, of which you offer none at all. Your chosen authority said something stupid. Deal with it!

What it is

It is nonsense
says reason
It is what it is
says love

It is misfortune
says calculation
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It is hopeless
says insight
It is what it is
says love

It is ridiculous
says pride
It is careless
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love
