John Hamilton Poet Verse

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
