John Hamilton Poet Couplet

When You Love Someone

When you love someone.

                          When you love someone, they possess your whole mind
                          they're in control of your entire body, soul and time.

                          When you love someone, their absence is cruel torture
                          dark shadows of solitude follow their brisk departure.

                          When you love someone, your darkness turns to light
                          their moonlight brightens even your blackest night.
                      
                          When you love someone, you love their imperfections
                          idiosyncrasies, irritations melt under love's reflection.

                          When you love someone, it's complete and forever
                          time seems to stand still, whenever you're together.

                          When you love someone, you always put them first
                          living altruistically, allowing love's illusion to burst.

                          When you love someone, their smile mesmerizes
                          supplanting desperation with hopeful surprises.

                          When you love someone, your whole life changes
                          disillusion cedes to hope, your mind, it rearranges.

                          When you love someone, you feel totally complete
                          desires satiated with pleasurable emotions replete.

Poet Destroyer A December 15, 2015 at 11:09 PM Hello, John, this is deep, and you describe the absence feeling well. Some changes are hard to process. enjoyed Linda John Hamilton December 15, 2015 at 11:40 PM Thanks Linda it's rather a simple one, the absence is more vividly described in my black hole of solitude, I would appreciate a comment if you have time.
