I just noticed that most people write when they’re lonely or they’re heart broken or something in that sense. I find it odd.
They often say that poets are melancholy people. And well, at one point, yes, I agree with them. Artists seem to always find reasons to ‘unwind’, so to speak (Thanks Boxx!). We always find things to rant and rave about. There is always a good reason to write a song, draw a picture, sing, dance, laugh, cry, or do whatever you want. And right now, I choose to me melancholy about love (so cliche!).
One thing I have always asked myself about, every time I have some silly heart ache, is why relationships don’t remain platonic? It’s not quite easy to grasp, really, the idea of not having an erotic relationship with a person (most especially of the opposite sex).
Recently, I have been through a whirlwind of emotions ranging from ecstasy to out right depression. Until now, I am still trying to swim away from the depression. I have lost a love. And I have been led on to loving nothing. And in spite of the fact that I know that there is nothing to love, I still fell for it.
Love makes people stupid, I think. Love ruins platonic relationships with other people. Love destroys concentration and focus. So why can’t people just have platonic relationships instead? If every relationship was platonic, then envy, hate, anger, obsession, et al towards another person will not exist. Every thing will be down right happy and harmonious. Why should almost every relationship move up a level and gear towards something more than being ‘platonic’?
Well, so much for my being anti-intimacy. Or maybe I am just bitter about recent and current occurences in my life. Hmmm…
Well, let me just quote a few lines from Pablo Neruda’s Tu Risa or Your Laguhter:
Deny me bread, air
Light, spring
But never your laughter
For I would die.
*****
Please do not deny me your laughter for I would definitely lose the light to my day.
