Life Poetry

Traveler says, "Take a poetic journey with me through the highs and lows of life, one verse at a time.

🕯 “If you want eternal love, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me…” 🕯 In the 1800s, a grieving poet made a deal with the devil. In exchange for one last glimpse of the woman he lost, he was given immortality — and cursed to feed on longing itself.

One poem in particular became legend: "Give It to Me" — a haunting love verse that, when spoken aloud three times, seals the soul to the curse. Now, in a modern high school English ...

Now, for many, religion no longer runs the show. So where shall we find our magic? How do we celebrate milestones? Which texts can focus our attention but still offer space for inquiry, communion, and the chance to dwell for a dazzling instant in what can’t be said?
