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!

I’ve made the correction

I've made the correction but I didn't change the second line coz I thought it stressed the point in the first line. Thanx Chrys for taking time off to read and comment. Josh
