When You Make a Poet Fall in Love

When you make a poet fall in love

You'd best be ready and prepared

For each and every tender thought,

Unabashedly and eloquently shared

 

When you make a poet fall in love

They're going to waste a lot of time

Etching out their feelings' proof

Perhaps in meter and in rhyme

 

When you make a poet fall in love

They'll  tell you what you long to hear

Even when they're too afraid

To whisper it into your ear

 

When you make a poet fall in love

It will be shown in more than verse

A poet's soul is full of passion:

Kisses, lines- a poet won't rehearse

 

When you make a poet fall in love

They'll savor every memory

And try to give it back to you

With more than soft, sweet poetry

 

When you make a poet fall in love

You've captured something rare

Brimming with wonderment and light

Heart, like mind, so driven to share

 

When you make a poet fall in love

Falling out is hard to make them do

For with each line they form resolve

That keeps their fair heart true

 

My friend, when a poet falls in love...

Make sure they fall in love with you

I absolutely LOVE this. I have tried to warn "people" about this, and me. As a poet, there's no end to the words when you're falling in love. Perfect!!
