i wonder why poems i love youIn poetry, why is 'Time' a common subject? Why is the concept of time often referred to in love poems?

Was just wondering what your thoughts were on this? I've seen 'time' pop up many times in poems, particularly Shakespeare's sonnets for example Sonnet 19 and Sonnet 116.
Was wondering why you think time is so commonly used in poetry, particularly love poems?
Well, time is something no one really ever fully understands. I think that people may use it as not only a metaphor for something they cannot comprehend, but also as the actual "dimension" of time. Everything in this world takes time. Especially love. To build up that emotion towards someone, it takes time. To show your love for someone, whatever form of love it is, takes time as well.
Well, time is something of a paradox in that we can measure it yet not harness it. We can undersi wonder why poems i love youtand the basic concept but be blown away by the sheer strangeness of it at the same time.

Writers, and poets in general, often like to try to explain or attempt to understand and investigate things that are abstract or unexplainable. In this way, the idea of time is very much like the notions of love, pain, fear and more.

In the case of love poems, time can have several meanings. It is up to the poet to create his perspective of the concept. Time can be focused on a long-lasting union of souls as a positive or a fading element that ultimately separates us as more of a negative.

As far as these two Sonnets go, here are two examples of analysis:


The thing with love is that you are always looking back to a divine moment, the sti wonder why poems i love youunningness of love ( that is probably not a word !), or contemplating its future; can it stay the same, how long can it last, will old age wither an infinite variety. Love is all about transitions, moving from one form to another.
You could regard love as a state of paradise and then remember the tag about death - et in Arcadia ego.Death itself and the death of love. You've probably read Marvell's 'To His Coy Mistress'. Here is the argument 'carpe diem' - seize the day - so beloved by the passionate male. The arguement for sex rather than waiting for worms to try thy long preserved virginity.
Love is subject to time. Look in Thomas Hardy- The Comet at Yellham, or sweet Lisbie Brown.
