Notes to answerer

Asker: No, not my own. It is a 'conversation' between the heart (with reasons) and love (with no reasons). The famous poem of Drummond is mentioned. My question is the name of this poem.

1 hr confidence:

please see explanation

Explanation:
depending on the context you could use "the non-reasons of love", but there is here a sound play on the word sem and cem....which between them encompass a great deal more...it's worth considering...perhaps multi/null/some/sum....etc or countless as in priceless...it's a lovely poem...i had a look online and in my bookshelves but haven't found a translation into English to date...so it's up to you i suppose :)

The reasons for the no-love

Explanation:
The reasons for the no-love

I love you because I love you,
You need not be a lover,
and not always know so.
I love you because I love you.
Love is a state of grace
and love does not pay.

Love is freely given,
is sown in the wind,
the waterfall in the eclipse.
Love eludes dictionaries
and the various regulations.

I love you because I do not love
enough or too much to me.
Because love does not return,
coupled or not you love.
Because love is love nothing,
happy and strong in itself.

Love is the cousin of death
and death winner
by more than the kill (and kill)
every moment of love.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade
