greek love

this love for you I have is
greek love. Because
there isn't one word
to say what this love
for you means,
so I thought better to give away
a few more than one.

this love I have for you is
greek love. Because
you dubbed me Aphrodite
and I wished we were
platonic.
this love for you is greek, definitely.

Agape, a gaping hole that
that consumes us in dark when
we are close
and shines the light on the distance.
Eros, for we love truly , only when
we are away.


this love is greek for sure, says Aristotle.
Philia, a general type love from a bottle
strong enough to suffer for,
weak enough to stay nameless.
this love is love as much love
as love in love can be.
storge or thelema or khaos
this love I have for you is,
greek positively.
(because i just don't get it.)

    [5:22:36 PM] chamki: meaning
    [5:22:37 PM] chamki: ?
    [5:23:18 PM] chamki: did you read it?
    [5:23:24 PM] chamki: why would you ask?
    [5:23:39 PM] Akshay: yes I read it
    [5:23:47 PM] Akshay: just wanted to hear it from you
    [5:23:57 PM] chamki: but i want to hear from you first
    [5:25:24 PM] Akshay: you're talking about platonic love.
    [5:26:11 PM] Akshay: and how one is never satisfied by it. but that's all you have to give
    [5:27:04 PM] Akshay: now you/
    [5:27:08 PM] Akshay: ?
    [5:27:28 PM] chamki: umm, i am talking about how love is love and yet it has so many different loves within it
    [5:27:49 PM] Akshay: yes
    [5:28:08 PM] chamki: and how there is so much pressure from us to us to comprehend it, to pin it down or to live in a way we see on TV and in our parents
    [5:28:21 PM] chamki: and the hesitation of finding the love that the love has within it
    [5:28:38 PM] chamki: but thats not what i was thinking of when i wrote it, this i only think off as an after though
    [5:28:43 PM] chamki: thought
    [5:28:57 PM] chamki: in this sense im not talking of platonic love alone
    [5:29:18 PM] chamki: but of a love that is sensitive enough to accept the love that the love has within it
    [5:29:20 PM] Akshay: or spend all your time tagging labeliing and storing it that we take it for granted.
    [5:29:43 PM] Akshay: and we dont see that we're being loved regardless or what type of love it is
