    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.

    "greenpawn34, yeah.
    johnnylongwoody and gb', who?"

    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
