ROMANTICISM: "LOVE IN ME- 002" BY JOEL

what if dying is another way to keep love alive?

Like a hunter who cares about his prey,

Like a million people illuminated by this regalia,

If I rip my heart apart and find 

Love cuddled in a corner,

If I listen to the voices 

in my head 

Bringing up images of my soulmate,

If life and death become bonded;

Humanity becomes immortality,

Love in me is like the oceans inviting me to drown.

JOEL

The poet persona speaks that the search for love is a continuous battle that makes him feel he might end his life in the search for it.
