Confessions of a Hopeless Romantic

What does being a hopeless romantic mean to you? To some, hopeless romantics are naïve people who shamelessly wear rose-tinted goggles and believe in an idealised version of romance, despite all evidence and experience to the contrary. To others, hopeless romantics are sentimental, sensitive folk who care deeply and love with passion and gusto. It certainly seems like the art of sentimentalism is becoming lost to the world. We are drowning in oceans of instant gratification and commercialism. Take a break from our reality for a little while and enjoy some short poems that relish what it means to be alive through the enjoyable and unpleasant.
