Welcome to the Quill and The Heart

Hello  fellow romantics, poets  and poetry lovers. Thank you for visiting my blog.
I am an incurable romantic and have been for most of my life. Within these pages you will find the rantings and sometimes comedic thoughts of a frustrated romantic male. Deal with it!

I have also been writing romantic poetry for most of my life. If you are a poet struggle to write with a romantic theme,  in this blog you will find advice that I hope will help you express yourself in the way that you have always wanted to, to put your heart on paper.  If you are still reading then it means that you have a desire to write what you feel, but don’t know how. I will teach you how to put your feelings to pen and parchment and you will find that with a little work it is easy to write beautiful flowing poetry that not only touches your heart, but also the heart’s of those who read it. I have a page for my romantic poetry, my favorite published poets and will be adding a page for my favorite subscriber’s poetry. Whatever your reason for being here, be it to learn how to write down your feelings, or just to read some beautiful words, I thank you for visiting my blog and hope you will visit often.

P.S. Please send me your own romantic poems for posting in my subscriber poetry section. (gordmerritt@hotmail.com)

Just so you are not confused, I am not writing from the future lol... the date of this post is so that my welcome message stays at the top of the list....

ciau for now

Love, Race and Religion... still the biggest barriers of all... why?

Race, religion and love... why is it still a conflict? I fell in love. So deeply in love I could not stand the thought of being without her. I believed the words.of the immortal Nat "King" Cole... "When I fall in love, it will be completely... or I'll never fall in love. When I give my heart, it will be forever... or I'll never give my heart... and I did fall in love, I did give my heart. but religion and race tore her from me and left me devastated. I am Caucasian, she was East Indian... She was Christian, I am not.. Why should it matter? It didn't when we met... it didn't for three years, it didn't until I got on my knees and asked for her heart forever. Suddenly it mattered... she told me she would love me forever... she lied. She loved me until it became uncomfortable... til it became hard. She loved me until others objected, then she denied me...that is not love. Love is not that selfish, love is unconditional, love overcomes all obstacles. Love is... sublime. I still love her, I will never stop. It does not mean that I will never love again, it means that I kept my promise to my heart... when I fall in love, it will be forever. Just Sayin...
