Notes About The Poem

I wrote this at the age of 40, when i fell in love, for the first time.

First Love

Loving you is like tasting the dew
It's madness,
It's Snow White's deer, It's Van Gogh's ear
It's madness.

Wonderful 4 line piece. The link of Van Gogh's ear to madness is most creative. A winner! Congratulations. Brian

Ha Ha...the pause bit is correct. Lets call it one of life's pauses...until I got over it, and found a real one for life. Thanks for commenting Rico.
