| Paper Perfect
- Will true love bring us happiness or do we have to
be happy to truly love?
- Is the idea of finding 'The One' a fictional
comfort or a real experience?
- What is 'perfection' and can such a concept
actually exist?
"The course of true love never did run smooth."
William Shakespeare
Love can come in many forms and inventions and does not
always conform to the ideals we may wish to impose on it.
There is a distinction between 'perfect love' and 'true love'...but
which of these can be sustained outside of the moment?
And which of these do we aspire to, 'perfection' or 'truth?'
The very essence of real love is in itself the acceptance of the imperfect,
but the very nature of humanity is the desire for perfection.
Subsequently we find ourselves immersed in an incessant internal struggle between
what we most desire and what we most want to desire, from moment to moment to moment.
'Paper Perfect' is a collection of poetry, which takes us through an exploration
of these moments; essentially considering the conflicts we experience between our romantic
ideals and the realities of what love actually is...not always perfect, not always as we
imagined and sometimes too painfully real.
