Symptoms of Love

 Love is universal migraine,
A bright stain on the vision
Blotting out reason.
 

Symptoms of true love
Are leanness, jealousy,
Laggard dawns; 

Are omens and nightmares -
Listening for a knock,
Waiting for a sign: 

For a touch of her fingers
In a darkened room,
For a searching look.
 

Take courage, lover!
Could you endure such pain
At any hand but hers?
