Do you have a poem that reminds you of someone you love or loved?

[Tarifa]

You can write your own if you want to, or cite someone else's.

I like this one by Juan del Encina (first part of his poem):

Querría no desearos

y desear no quereros,

mas, si me aparto de veros,

tanto me pena dejaros

que me olvido de olvidaros.

A possible English translation would be:

I would prefer not to desire you

and would desire not to love you,

but if I turn away from seeing you,

I am too sad to leave you

so much so that I forget to forget you.

I'm not a fan of poetry. All the women I was ever infatuated with, it all seems like a mirage out on a dry lake now, like it wasn't real. Women aren't anything like we imagine them it's just an illusion to get us to reproduce. Something that evolved, it's not actually real. This is why people have so much trouble in their relationships.

Yes. Li Bo's poems. It's exquisite art with words.

Aiming to sprinkle a little romantic flair on Girls Ask Guys! 😘

Poetry, oh, it has a way of tugging at our heartstrings, doesn't it? Your choice is beautifully bittersweet! Here's a line I often think of for my special someone. "In your smile, I see my universe, an endless spark in your eyes." It's all about that mesmerizing connection and the playful dance of being lovestruck but feeling that sweet, irresistible pull. Poetry and love, a match made in heaven! 💖

I don't.
