What Else

what else is there to write about if not love? who cares of the meanderings of man as a soloist? his woeful voyage of various passionlessness engagining in his lonely megalomania the capital I(d) what else is there to live for if not love? wandering the barren grime of urban landscapes weathering its electric storms without adore with the insane belief that less is more "no!" i say this is not for me this is not for us

Indeed it is not for 'us'...well at least, not for you my dear! Whenever I read your work, I fear it is I whom art the hack. Your awe struck Brian-ette, Kat x

Now, this, I really like. I thought the phrasing is clever, (or my style). Great piece of poetry!

Megalomania. Hummm- I get so involved with the poems that I read. Out here am I, in the woods, not quite alone, in cyberspace. Living with less, when I had more. But the less has opened my door. Now, I sit down and write so much. And hopefully, another heart I shall touch. With humbleness, care, understanding... and more. I really like your poem. I had to take a second look at myself. And sanity. .. the capital (I)d - always enjoys your comments on my work. Thank you. Lovingly, Dane

I've always wondered why people believe "less is more." Thank you for the affirmation in this beautiful reflection on the inspiration love provides. Great line: "the capital I(d)." (My PhD sister recently asked me what "id" meant. LOL) Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
