The first 'Love Song' poem I was not sure as to what is direction Kelly is going. Maybe It's me and maybe I am not seeing something. But at the beginning of this poem, I am not sure what he is talking about. If I have to make a guess, I would say Kelly is talking about the feelings you get when you fall in love. Where he says ' this subtle sort of thing that doesn't happen every night' makes me think of when you meet someone and you discover new feelings that you never felt before. And something as special as this, does not happen every night, making the fact of falling in love even more special. I do like that line in the poem for those reasons, if they are true. Another line in the poem that I am drawn to is 'Everything I care for happens all the time.' What I think of after reading this line is not only strong words, but also are saying another message. What this line says to me is Everything I care for, meaning being with the one you love is all that matters. And just being around the person you love makes it everything you do more meaningful.
I will say that this is a different type of love poem. I have read other love poetry that plays deep into the romantic and passionate type of love. This seems like this is coming for the guys perspective, like say a boyfriend reading to his girlfriend a poem and it does not have to be all cuties. True love is all about honesty, and any words that are truly honest can be just as moving as any romantic love poem.
The second Love poem, again reads to me as speaking the truth about why they love this person. And it could just be the simple things like the walk or the way you talk. It is like people, 'just be yourself' and this is what I think of after reading this. It is similar to the first love poem in being honest and that the words are powerful and true. And that there is no need to go all out and make the idea of falling/ being in love the way it is portrayed in books, TV shows and movies. Love is not fabricated, it meant to be honest, truth and real.
