attraction is curious
romance is furious
and love
when its deep
its glorious
a breath taking collage
of color and shape
texture and scent
quite painful
and painless it is
and in some instances
such irony occurs
in the very same moment
its the ailment and the cure
the tranquility and the storm
the madness and the sanity
banded in beloved muse
the myth and the magic
of such thoughts
a conducive mix
that engages hearts
to interact with each other
and suddenly see special
where special stood not before
so breath deeply in of love's
generous grace
for this is
the rhythmic staccato of
'The Romanticist's Heart'
and in these fragile man's
it has no other place...........
