what????
anons, you know many poets don't get to bang their muses, right?

I can give you examples: Dante, Yeats, The Fair Youth (I Guess)

>> No.22998871

>>22998861
True but in the case of Dante it was more like an ideal than something carnal. He married and had 4 children.

>> No.22998880

>>22998861
yes good point but I am already aware of it. one of my favorite poets in my own language happened to have a disaster of a relationship history with women. they all suffered and some significant ones would probably be virgins if not for prostitution. but this truth no longer helps me. last time I read a poem, from it I remember a line about a cold hand of her lover laying down on his chest or something and after immediately realizing this will never be me I just had to end it forever. I am not reading poems anymore.

>> No.22998895

>>22998871
Yes, mostly.
And the muse of Yeats married another man, if my memory doesn't fail me.

Diotima, the muse of Holderlin, was a married woman. And I don't recall if they ever got physical.
But that's how it goes.

Baudelaire had as a muse, a black whore.

Who? I'm curious.

>I am not reading poems anymore.
Well, anon. If you're that exasperated maybe it's better if you take a break for the moment.
These books won't create legs.
Go read something sober, or don't read nothing at all. Go for a walk. To the beach, or I don't know.

>implying romantic love from books exists in the real world

Enjoying a love relationship and enjoying the idea of romantic love are not the same thing. The latter is a purely fictitious and abstract concept loosely based on the animalistic intersexual relationship you see irl. It is the same as if you'd be sad that you couldn't learn the invincible and powerful kung fu from the movies, because it worked only in fiction and the real-world analogue of that sucked.

What are some poems that express heartbreak beautifully? Preferably heartbreak that drags you down in the presence of unrequited love.

>have no affection in your life

>stop reading poetry because you will never coom

>having neither affection nor poetry in your life is tolerable because you can watch porn
this is an unironic recommendation for you to kill yourself

In really good romantic poetry the woman or the romance is little more than decorative scenery and a backdrop against which love itself can be explored. You don't need to be don juan to appreciate romantic poetry.

>> No.23000778

I write poems for my girl, but she is the only one who reads them. I also make music for her, and she is the only one who hears it.

Writing for a general audience changes the way you write. The most precious things are personal and private, which is hard to do in our times.

Good stuff:


sirena de aquellas que Ulises, sagaz,
amaba y temía.
Por tus ojos verdes yo me perdería.

Por tus ojos verdes en lo que, fugaz,
brillar suele, a veces, la melancolía;
por tus ojos verdes tan llenos de paz,
misteriosos como la esperanza mía;
por tus ojos verdes, conjuro eficaz,
yo me salvaría.

AUTOBIOGRAFÍA

¿Versos autobiográficos ? Ahí están mis canciones,
allí están mis poemas: yo, como las naciones
venturosas, Y A EJEMPLO DE LA MUJER HONRADA, NO TENGO HISTORIA: NUNCA ME HA SUCEDIDO NADA,
¡oh, noble amiga ignota!, que pudiera contarte.

Allá en mis años mozos adiviné del Arte
la armonía y el ritmo, caros al musageta,
Y, PUDIENDO SER RICO, PREFERI SER POETA.
-¿Y después?

-He sufrido, como todos, y he amado.

¿Mucho?

-Lo suficiente para ser perdonado...

Disregarding literal slumtrash dying of starvation, modern dating is just retarded nobleman court games that the entire world is expected to play and treat 100% seriously.
You can find love, anon, just by not getting sucked into it all you'll realize everyone is fucking retarded, including you.
