Introduction: A Philosophical Perspective on Contemporary Love Poetry

Love poetry speaks volumes in every generation. It is the contemporary love poet who captures its aura, like an elusive scent of a rose about to blossom.

No two love poets ever speak exactly the same words, but every true love poet conveys the same message, that of love. At times, its interpretation may be as elusive and fragile as a beautiful butterfly in flight.

Even though love may seem smothered by a flood of senseless words, its meaning bursts forth over time like the bubbling of a brook.

Every new expression of love is akin to the wafting fragrance that accompanies the opening of a rose bud. 

Each poetic expression is totally unique to its own era or time and thus contemporary poetry is always in vogue.

The words of a contemporary love poet may seem inadequate at best, but they are invariably an attempt to portray the thoughts and feelings of each generation momentarily locked into its own unique mode of expression.
