To be smitten...
It's funny what love does;
what love on it's cue does,
thanks to the auspicious myth that love is meek!
how it induces childish frolic
in my heart or lures it into frisson!
How it triggers lush emotions
whose intricacy eludes reason;
how it figures rash devotions,
never mind the season,
or employs large a garrison
to keep your sanity in check!
How it keeps my heart playing Bach's fugue
better than Bach himself by the neck,
or, makes necessity huge
and a feeling I can't fathom at stake!
