Love is the poet, composing her lines.
Lusciously lyrical, licorice-sweet
Words paint a story.
Now love is a boy, flames licking his feet.
Now it's a fish, a formidable foe,
And now it's Assyrian soldiers at Wellfleet.

"Backed and packed, with tarnished tinfoil."
Her simple sounds and complex combinations
Slide off my tongue,
While my muse is dumb,
Despite poetic aspirations.

Love's inspiration's irony:
Her simple songs are muting me.

I beg to differ

So harmonious and eloquent, maybe it's the unknowing power of people in love ...

Overpowered by love too marvelous for words ~ my pen is mute.

The muse plays fickle tricks with love's allure while other visions cry out for attention denied.
