The Art of Love is caring and carressing The little things which loves assurance prove. Poet Nilkunj has defined linewise its poetic beauty well. Here I simply tried to keep my mark as a reading-presence with a good poem. Quoted line above just to show my liking. Good post by PH.

How very true: The Art of Love is not to be confused with the Act of Making Love. The latter can sometimes be merely physical (especially for men) the former is Spiritual and involves the Heart the Mind and the Spirit. Thank you for share, Elena

It is strange that all citical comments are beamed away..Is this the way to really work at poetry?

For me very mannered and with a forced, pseudo-literary style, well written, but not the kind of work that I like. Many will like this.

My dearest, the piece is candid. I see that you’ve put a lot of thought into it. However, you’ve made us ponder. At least that’s what I am doing. The art of love is a dying art. At times, I feel we failed to protect courtship, which is a major gift for any beginning.

1.We must define the boundaries of the theme To rein it in within the 'Realms of Bliss'.........The opening sets the rules of of the game and intent of the poem.....grand opening, simple, subtle and stimulating..urges one to move on...... 2. The Art of Love is not the Act of Love you have meticuluosly differentiated the two...most of the humans would say that they understand the difference and know these two like back of their palm...but reality is poles apart, when you see the modern day love being butchered on the altars of materialism day in day out...... 3. The act of love is............ladies Who appreciate its usage now and then - very important lesson here and reflection of harsh reality....men being materialistic and ladies demanding generosity.....and patience of course.... 4. The perfect Art of Love is gentle......... The little things which loves assurance prove- this is a masterly verse...experience exudes here.... The Art of Love needs always to be studied The ins and outs the wherefores and the whys The act of love is natural - but needs to be subdued Control of taste and touch - control of eyes. 5.The Art of Love has changed......Transition shown here quite respendently..how modern tools have replaced the tradition yet the languasge spoken and the vibes are same.... 6. To oil the wheels of love as 'Boy meets Girl' Ameliorates the frantic Social Whirl............lovely metaphors here...and the subtle sarcasm makes one think and wonder at modern day love.... 7.he Art of Love asks all men to be Gentlemen.......... NOT like a Cave Man..........this is yet again a chring stanza, which is sort of your guide to art of love types....I am sure you shall find lot of takers for this philosophy and simiplictiy..... 8. The Art of Love belongs to a byegone age when........this again brings us back to the harsh reality, where materialism and greed has taken over and is polluting the fabric of love by dyeing it with plain desires..... ! 9.The Art of Love is from a bygone age when The Men would dress and preen before a date And NOT wear tatty jeans - covered in baked beans And never never ever turn up late! ..............So true, that love has taken a casual form and has become a commodity that's traded on daily basis..... 10.The Art of Love is gentle the AOL is pure ...............any love is incomplete with passionate respect....this is a wonderful lesson here for everyone who draws a breath from surroundings...this poem has a universal appeal..... 11.And ways of subjugating passion's fire................. I could'nt agree more... 12. And Ladies of PH................. Turn up on time - don't make him wait for hours..........rules do not differentiate between the two sides when one wants a fair game, , , , you have set the rules so tranparently here, that it pleases the readers heart.... 13.If.................. exploding - like a BOMB....a very powerful ending, summarising the whole stuff wonderfully well.... Who doesnt want to fall in love now.....wow is the word John for this one....10 from me

This reads like a how-to and what-not-to-do manual.

GREAT PIECE! VERY INFORMATIVE. I like your piece, may it be read by people who think they fall in love to almost all the opposite gender they meet.

This was more than a poem. It was a lesson taught. It was wisdom shared. If only we all knew the Art of Love......wow!
