I have no use for these other loves. Seal them shut in jarsand place them in the pantry. A reserve of love. Thank them for their love. They are so kind. Perhaps store them in the fridge For others to take. They say love is a panacea. I know it is not. Flakes of snow, no two are alike. When I am down on my knees, hopeless and angry, for the world no longer makes sense, I won't look in the pantry or fridge. It is your hand pressing on my shoulderthat makes me whole, makes me forget. What trouble? What world? . Kamand Kojouri
About This Quote

"I have no use for these other loves" is a phrase that expresses the poet's unwillingness to acknowledge the existence of anything other than himself. The use of "other loves" in this context is misleading; although the speaker wants to keep his love for himself, he does not want to keep his love for others. If he had protected his love for others, then he would not be desperate and angry when the world no longer makes sense. Love is like a panacea; it can cure most problems, but there are some things that cannot be cured.
