Observations of Lovers

Lovers spend their days in idyll,
Drunk stupid with emotion.
Got that steamy passion eating at their souls,
Dazed in that love-bliss.
Go numb to all around them but one,
Melt for their drug of choice,
And only touch who is only touched
By their clumsy nervous fingers.
Lovers sing,
Cry out everyday,
Screeching melodies of happiness
And give their lovers more love than ever created.
Thought to be only a story some old person whispered
As new lifetimes flounce passed them,
Consumed by the flighty breezes of youth.
Lovers hold onto their magic secrets,
Clutch ignorance wholeheartedly,
Knowing fully of death and defeat,
But still spread their silliness all around them

Lovely! Very well expressed. "Consumed by the flighty breezes of youth" - ah, young love! But after the silliness passes it can be even better! Good job.

This is very good. Lovers can be very silly and careless, I always was, but I've learned my lesson. I look forward to more of your work :)

I really like this poem :) It is a brilliant 'observation of lovers' as you put. I love the lines 'Go numb to all around them but one,
Melt for their drug of choice,
And only touch who is only touched
By their clumsy nervous fingers.'
It's a brilliant poem, well done :)
