Poem I connected it too: “Come and Go” by Steve R. Shirk
So fitting are the melodies
Softly playing in your heart.
Think of moment's beauty lift
Until the second we must part.
Fascinations' running wild
Option's open wide all gates.
Longing's for that gentle sway
Given to the one who waits.
Leaping into desolation
Reaching out with lonely eyes
Seeking long awaited answer's
Fighting through emotion's lies.
Loosing all constructed pride
Now giving in to chance
Fame once more this sleeping love
Awaken our long lost romance.
These two poems have the common theme of losing love. They both describe how one may love, but it is never guaranteed. Love can quickly fade away; therefore keeping it is a challenge itself. Both of the poems have end rhyme, which adds a deeper meaning to the word love. The end rhyme itself could be a separate poem because the economy of words used describes how love can be easily lost. Although the second poem has a speaker was unable to actually love the person they cared about, Cummings actually writes to someone he loved, but let them go in-order to see them happy. By comparing and contrasting these two poems, one sees that love is complicated and may not always be the best feeling in the world. Especially when you lose the one you love.
