LOVE - what is love? A great and aching heart;
Wrung hands; and silence; and a long despair.
Life - what is life? Upon a moorland bare
To see love coming and see love depart.
Beautiful poem, good point of view, food for thought and wonders, I think love could be so much more than silence and despair. Suppose love never goes away from one's heart, then, what is life? Can love bring a lot of pain yes, but maybe through such pain we get to learn of the true beauty, true meaning of life, the freedom given by true love?
Exactly, Elena, you got the point! Best regrads from Sylvia Frances Chan

A poem reflects the mood. This one is of anger, frustration....A fleeting emotion..... expressed well...
a contemporary poem, very originally expressed, really fascinating to read it, and just think what it all means?

When I read this poem, I feel despondent. Love, in this telling, is elusive for the poet. Bummer.
