Notes About The Poem

A fun/cute poem

Love Struck

Love is a powerful notion. A conviction born within. 
a lucid filled intoxication... that claims the lives of men.

It's found in her sweet soft eyes, as it was with mine.
and stops your heart without remorse..every single time.

She smiles and your heart is her's, soon you smile too.
you stumble on words like a fool, as men most often do.

Your flirtations make her laugh, there's magic in the sound
As your wits go for a walk and wish not to be found.

You laugh along and here you're stuck, sinking in quicksand.
oh of all the days to bravely choose to try and be a man.

Friends and family gather close, there talking of their loss.
of the lass who kissed your lips and stole you like a boss.

This siren has you in her spell. I'm sorry for your luck.
But this happens to us men who find ourselves love struck.

celebrates the woman whose laugh is cosmic & angelic languages to you; the ending speaks of the temporary joys we have on earth (May we seek what JESUS says and offers us in Hope and Solace) shalom my Brother, Peace of the LORD

Hehe, indeed it is so. I just thought for a bit of fun from the perspective of a man who's still gushing over his girl.

Jesse: BRAVO. Well done. What a lovely "sketch" of something lovely and yet laughable. Keep them coming to share with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

heh. Thank you. A new spin on the "Twitterpated". But, it can be said by those of us in love, it's an amazing thing to have that person.
