An Analysis On Platonic Love


This love


It seems and said it is

And I truly believe

For it must be

The more intellectual

And intelligent you become

The more that love grows within


Might seem impossible

But I truly believe

For there I’ve been


A mixture of frustration

And hope


A hope to find in that person

Every single thing

Even more than you need

Actually just through fantasy

Invention

Creativity

That perfection

One always seeks


Sweeter than just sweet


A need to have the ideal

No need to go through it

In reality.


So stimulating this feeling is

Because as you think and feel

As you feel and think

No witness comes to play

So you can give free rein

To your imagination


This love


Has

No agreements or disagreements

No arguments

No dirty details

It doest not get old

For it’s out of time and space


This love


Is not moody

But clean

Pure

Always loose

No limits

No nuances…


No censorship allowed…

Ironic that just today I was pondering Platonic philosophy and mentioned it to one such friend.

It takes some time, some juggling and balance, perhaps a few winding roads... but it's possible.

Beautiful words of yours. thank you.

Brian Miller said...

gla dto see you at one shot dulce! i wonder if any love ever lives without disagreements...perhaps love is shown best when we are still in the midst of it and can call it love....

Man Named Kim said...

first, i get MORE than platonic from the picture you chose - not complaining, however.

the poem, itself, weaves a delightful dance through the tempting and pleasant evolution of this wonderful way of loving. i'm fortunate to have several with whom i share this and now that you have reminded me - i must thank them.

thank you!

A beautifully reflective and subtly layered poem, Dulce, the philosophical searing at its core is wonderful. Platonic love is, indeed, the noblest of all love and you so elegantly articulate this. It is the love of human for another, simply and only because they are both human.

Thank you for posting. I always enjoy explorations of love and each is as unique as the love to whom it belongs. Thanks for posting this. Gay

Glad to have you Dulce at One Shot

This love transcends even platonic love - does it exist?? maybe in the mind

Delightful my friend

Platonic love always seems so uncomplicated. I enjoyed this exploration.

Desert Rose said...

G-Man said...

I agree....
Sex Ruins Everything!!

steveroni said...

A true systematic poetic study this one. Dulce, you are investigating a concept. This love. Far out! This love. "Out of time and space".

I cannot know--for me--if this kind of love, with no pain, no guilt, no hurt, no jealousy, no furiosity and no breaking someone's heart now and then--clean, pure blah blah...is possible. Just never thought of it.

If this is not your BEST ever blog, it is certainly your most interesting. Here IS another point of view, NOT mine:

Samuel Richardson has one of his characters in "PAMELA" say, "I am convinced, and always was, that Platonic love is Platonic nonsense."

Remember I did NOT say that--grin! just threw it into the mix. Enjoyable read, WELL done
and the image...well, ahh, Ummm! YEP!
HUGS!

Happy first school day today!

I love reading poems and finding your blog is such a treat. I will come back to read your old ones with a cup of tea and a lone time...

I love this piece. I don't say that often. As a hyper intelligent longing for love man this resonates with what I hope love is. Unfortunately it has not been my experience. Has it been this way for you? Platonic or otherwise? Bisous, Love and Light, Sender

Glynn said...

This love is a beautiful dream. Nice one.

Bubba said...

For the love of Plato? (LOL!)

I wish everyone could express their platonic love as well.

Unknown said...

It sounds like a good love too! Though I disagree with my love but that is how she and I balance out, and in balancing, we love:)

Great work here Dulce!

signed...bkm said...

this is love at it finest...and you express it beautifully..nice to meet you too at One Shot..bkm

Claudia said...

No censorship allowed…that would be great - but i wonder if it does not sneak in - even in platonic love affairs…
enjoyed your how beautiful you describe it in your poem dulce!

PattiKen said...

Sounds like a love we should all have. You did a lovely job describing all its qualities. But to go a bit irreverent, the wrench in the works is lust. The minute your bring that into the equation, many of those qualities go to hell in a hand basket.

Mommy Emily said...

ohh love the last line! this, agape love...

Nikki (Sarah) said...

sometimes this is the best kind of love...I agree with Emily about that last line...☺

Fireblossom said...

Nonsense. I want both the delight and the dirt.

Donusho said...

This really is love in the purest of forms.. no questions asked, no answers ever needed!
Such a lovely poem... the words gave me goosebumps... cuz I really believe (know) that such a love does exist!
Thanks for reassuring my belief, my friend, and for sharing this piece here...

Wild Rose said...

I revel in such kind of platonic love, lovely lines and well written Dulce~

A Plain Observer said...

Platonic...the strongest love I have ever felt, the sweetest way I ever loved.
