Love Bah!

All these insipid poems of Love
Love Lost….
Love Found….
What is this emotion that makes UP? Down?

All this frantic fretting
nail biting and bed-wetting.

What is this profound poetic notion?
What is the source of this commotion??

All these romantic, rabid, ramblings, of Love
Love Lost..
Love Found…
What is this emotion that makes UP? Down?

Palms pale and sweat,
brows furrow and frown.

All these horrid, hormonal, tizzies,
do little more than make one dizzy.
Love Lost…
Love Found…
Abandon this morose emotion 
right this curse, set in motion.

And, if I may, let me suggest, 
the route Narcissus took was best.
Love revealed…
Love found.
A love who’ll never let you down.

A love without product or prodigy
To fill the world with more dichotomy.
