Much Ado About Love

Much Ado About Love

 by R Shinkel

Shakespeare, is really much amade about

nothing, in all this noting of things like

matchmaking, courting, marriage, or love? I doubt

that all things of love are only of psych

and words written down. Why do we write down

things about love with its tangles and trials?

Is not love worth the writing when found?

Is not human connection worth extra miles

of effort in sonnets, plays, epics, and songs?

One might say that in the breaking off

of hearts, such is not worthy of all wrongs

thrown. And yet we then when broken, aloft

in dreams, dream of that love worth the writing

and, when dreams come alive, worth the kissing.
