Love's Vertigo

Love's vertigo Outside snow is falling, no leaves left on the trees but inside there's a heat, that brings me to my knees Trapped inside the vertigo, as lovers rise and fall Isn't dizzy desire the answer, whenever romance calls? July 17,2019 Excerpt from my song Between the whispers and the sighs For Greg Barden's contest Arbitrium Divisa 3

When a beautiful mood has been created, lingering in love- to the point of no return. Will leave you breathless. Dizzy-- perhaps. Your thoughts made me smile. :) And, softly sigh. ~ Brandy
