Great commentary and, I think, everybody can relate to this. Love can never be exhausted no matter how we use are imaginations and we cannot do without it.

'Love excessive' and 'love expressive' are represented beautifully in new symbols. I appreciate your creative genius.

Here's the last poem of the poetry E book by Onelia Avelar. Old Latin for New Language: here's the title of my comment two years later. The previous key word was 'love', the new is 'expressive'. Vetera ut Nova, one needs to use the available language. This is the available way to 'absolute freedom'.

Sentiments have been replaced by words, Even the words reduced to the distant thirds.

Funny, clever and playfully expressed - this has a melody of it's own and communicates clearly the shorthand language that has now become almost de rigour. j x
