Teach me the ways of love

Teach me the ways of love:
To feel like Romeo when first
he beheld Juliet,but last
Long enough my time to serve.

Teach me the ways of love:
To lose my heart that fast
but avoid the traps of lust
till,by Fate,no choice I have.

Teach me the ways of love:
To recognise my heart's thirst,
quench it with love and the last
of my pride forget for love.

Teach me the ways of love;
teach me to believe in love.

This has a lovely lyrical

This has a lovely lyrical voice and flow. Very smooth and enjoyable to read. Just one suggestion - 'til should be till, even when it is an abbreviation of until. Nice work. :-) Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.
