My motivation for writing poetry is "love and death" - when there is great love in life and that is lost through death....how do we cope.....how do we just carry on....can we ever unite - while alive - on that plane where our loved one has gone. Sadness abounds at times...and for those left behind it can be crippling.....we are in a sense left with no answers...left wondering.....left sad and with a void. Love is such a strong emotion....yet the sadness when it is lost can be deadly to ones desire to go on.....so we search for ways to speak of our love and remember it more...
