I love to see poetry on ReadUp! Thank you for this

Falling in love is falling. The irony is that it is so damn elevating.

Explosive!

I'm coming out of a period where I preferred quick, light, quirky poems, frivolous explorations of random, silly things.

Now I crave the deep stuff. I want poetry that says, "This is the meaning of life," or "Love = God = x," or whatever. I want to read and see and hear all of the most audacious attempts to explain everything, literally everything, and this poem, undeniably, is that. What a blast of bright, bright light. @Ruchita_Ganurkar, you are on fire!

As if the world were a taxi, you enter it, then Reply (to no one), “Let’s go five or six blocks.”

That's brilliant. So is ALL of this:

Isn’t the blue stream that runs past you a translation from the Russian? Aren’t my eyes bigger than love? Isn’t this history, and aren’t we a couple of ruins? Is Carthage Pompeii? is the pillow the bed? is the sun What glues our heads together? O midnight! O midnight! Is love what we are, Or has happiness come to me in a private car That’s so very small I’m amazed to see it there?

I think the answers to those questions might be: yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes!

I am fully indulged in the feeling of love after reading this combo of #3.

In Love With You By Kenneth Koch is the peace & the emotions he's written are just awesome.

This line really felt touched, so real & full of emotions of forever togetherness ..

If you were seventy thousand years old, and I were a pill, I know I could cure your headache.
