Unconditional love is caring about the happiness of another person without any thought for what we might get for ourselves. Love poems allow you to express yourself and your feelings. A poem can tell a story, express a moment in time, share a thought, make a proposal and express great joy or suffering. The love poem that appeals to me most is "How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count The Ways", by Elizabeth Browning. The reason why I love this poem, it relates to my inner feelings. It resembles the love I share with my parents.
The love I have for my parents and the love they have for me is unconditional love. My mother carried me for nine months in her womb. We have a unique bond that no one else could replace. A secure attachment I felt with my parents. It relates to the securities which Elizabeth Browning and I felt when we were kids. When Browning is with her love she has a sense of security she felt as a child. The love that was embraced to me enable me to love others. It makes me think of love in a totally different way. Love makes me feel good. It does so many things, but at the most basic level. Love makes me feel uplifted, happy, and positive. The poem "How Do I Love Thee" demonstrates and importance of companionship in a relationship. What appeals most to me about this poem is Browning's' attitude, tone of the poem and how it brings out the romantic side of me.
First of all, I admire Elizabeth Browning's attitude in the poem. Her attitude is very positive about love. The poem portrays an optimistic view about love . Implying, that love is the best thing that could ever happen to you. In my opinion, Elizabeth Browning is a devoted wife. Who would go the extra mile for her husband. Selfless, caring, and self giving are just a few words to describe her. Browning's attitude gives me hope on love. When I stopped believing in love because of a broken heart, it was hard to start over. However, I met someone that pulls out my heart strings and knows me better than myself.
