The Greeks defined love in three ways: (1) Eros, which meant erotic love (2) Agape, which meant divine love (3) Philia, which meant love relating to a spiritual kinship, a soul relationship. The following series of poems are poems about a love relationship between two persons that is mainly spiritual. In these poems an attempt is made to express the inner life of two people who are in love. In our time where a great deal of emphasis is placed on the physical relationship a look beyond the surface relationship of love might be in order.
