![]() A Beautiful Love Affair Desire, betrayal, uncertainty, Friendship, strength, Destiny. ‘For what we have together, I love you.’ ‘I can’t say that right now.’ ‘You don’t have to.’ Susan Patterson 04-2011 Audio for A Beautiful Love Affair: Discussion: This poem is a conversation between two people, presumably two lovers. Person One ponies up the nerve to say "I love you." Person Two cannot return the profession. Person One responds that it is not necessary. Why? Because he knows already? Because it isn't necessary? Because he is willing to be in a one-sided love relationship? We don't know. We also don't know what the first stanza means. What about desire, betrayal, uncertainty, et al? Well, the author can answer those questions. She is not going to. The reader needs to fill in the blanks of the story to fit his needs and understandings. However you choose to interpret this story, it still is a beautiful love story in poetic form. skp Artist Spotlight- Bunny Lewis, Purple Haze Pottery Bunny Lewis is one of my favorite potters. She is a master with the human face and torso. I have several of her pieces in my home and they always, always draw comments from guests. Bunny is a soft spoken perceptive person who translates what she sees in humanity to clay artistry. Her statues of women are especially compelling and interesting. And more so, who could not enjoy the work of a person called Bunny? Please take a look at her work at BunnyLewis.com You will be entranced. Her web site, as lovely as it is, does not do justice to her pieces, so I urge you, if there is a way to Bunny's work in person, please do so. skp ▶ We are explorers of our own souls. And there is much to discover. Earlene Grey Happy halcyon summer days to you! skp
