Ahh, the terrible push and pull of hearts in love. I could tell you stories if you were here and we had a bottle of Pino to share, but instead I will share my words that will give a hint of the fickleness love can sometimes have. From drama and despair to elated bliss, love can give you one hell of a work out!
Here’s to all you lover’s out there!
A Lover’s Musings –
If losing sleep and losing dreams really make you sick,
then I am TERMINAL
If losing loved ones and being hated by the ones you love make you hard,
then I am STONE
If loss of mind and weakened spirit make you mad,
then I am but a LUNATIC
If a lying tongue and deceitful heart send you to hell,
then I am lost in the FLAMES
If a cold heart and an empty stare means you are dead,
then I am a CORPSE in-deed!
But in my sickness you healed me
and kissed away my tears
and in my darkness your light came
to save my life from despair

L'amour et Psyche by Francois Edouard Picot, 1817, tells the story of Cupid and Psyche. In the Greek mythological story, Cupid would leave every morning before Psyche woke from her sleep. Psyche's outstretched arm shows the space where Cupid would have been sleeping, however he leaves her in the morning. A great depiction of the complexities of love, status and family. "The angel looks back at the sleeping beauty with a goodbye glance– the older cupid teaching us that love, if anything, is fleeting, and you never know when you’ll wake up and your arm will be outstretched around nothing."
