Reflections on Love and Being: Poetry Anthology 2

A few short poems on trying to reconcile notions of meaning with love, and trying to distinguish love from all other emotions in some sort of symbolic order. Love and its conflicts with passion, emotion in general, anxiety, anger, and also love as a retroactive cause and effect of all of these emotions as well. Consider it a psychoanalytical look on the relationship between love and the self. Essentially the same notions of sadness, grief, misunderstanding, inability for emotions to be conveyed through language that we see in all poetry of this nature. I also try and look at the ways in which love must be logically structured in language and poetry for it to be symbolized; and poetry is an attempt to escape this structure and finally deliver love in its rawest form, although this is something no poet has ever been able to do, nor do I even attempt it.
