POETRY AND THE HEARTPlato once said:”At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.”
A lot of people don’t understand what they feel, how they feel and why they feel it. There’s one simple explanation. The heart speaks in poetry.
People who are in love become a poet, because the heart talks to them, poetry.
Poetry can touch a person’s heart, because the heart understands what poetry says.
We cannot learn about love in one time, because we cannot understand poetry after one poem. There are steps. Line by line.
When you love someone, you can’t explain how you feel, because the poetry in your heart is unexplainable. You don’t understand what you feel, you just know it’s beautiful.
You read the magnficant words of the greatest poets. You don’t understand what they say, what they mean. You just know that the words they use are words of beauty.
In love and poetry we don’t know the why, the how and what. But, we do know that what we see and read on paper and in heart touches us in a way never meant to understand, but to be felt.
There’s no other reason why poetry comes from the heart.
You may not know, but the heart does. And, the heart knows how to make you feel.
