Affairs of the Heart

When the music 
     doesn't sing
When whispered words
     want wings
Then affairs of the heart
     are just flings

Holy Guacamole, Michelle! You noticed the alliteration; I sure didn't! Some 'poet' I am, eh?! Talk about a bit of luck there... Thanks for pointing it out to me. ~ Very nearsighted in Chicago

So interesting how you view this one!! I'm so darn straight and old-fashioned that I think of 'flings' negatively... Oh, well. ~ Call me Curmudgeon, I guess
