FROM EVERYWHERE, ALWAYS – When love becomes poetry

Charles Baudelaire loved women, alcohol and drugs. Frequenting prostitutes, he had contracted sexual diseases; so his family had sent him far away to India, hoping the change of his dissolute lifestyle. Back in Paris, he wrote highly carnal poems. Love has been sung by poets from around the world and in all ages. The love poems? Companion of sweethearts, use of romantic words and sweet, sometimes hot or sensual, they accompany you when you’re in love (and sometimes even when you’re not). Read a love poem is always good. 2000 years back in the time, Catullus wrote love poems in Rome when in young age he fell in love with the intelligent and unprejudiced Lesbia (with who had a troubled relationship). Jacques Prévert, the romantic poet of the ‘900, was attending the Paris of the middle of that century, also writing songs. For him love saves men and the world.

But she feels her so serious in the end, which it contends, that can not raise them, so turn them on.

LOVE IN A TIME SO SLOW FIRE – Tullia D’Aragona

Love a time so slow fire, was kindled in my life, and so full of grief it melted my heart, that anyone who wanted to martyr towards her sweetness and playfulness. After outrage and pity, gradually they extinguished the flame. I order more than other free threshold so long and want fair, I was happy singing in each place.
