If You Ever Love A Poet By La Belle Rouge if you ever love a poet then do not be surprised to see that wandering look in warm, visionary eyes that expression that tells you he has spied, on a distant hill, a new, bright, fragrant flower that has brought his heart a thrill if you ever love a poet never think to build a cell to lock away his strong affections and throw the key down a well for he will simply dream his way through the keyhole and beyond to other galaxies and gardens of which he oft grows fond if you ever love a poet do not grasp or demand he is like a fragile butterfly hold his love with an open hand for he will die if you cage him like your personal possession but the love of common men could never compare or begin like tempestuous love of a poet to unlock all the rooms of your soul and on fluttering wings of passion cause you to lose all control as you hold him near but loosely and love him while you can just be prepared to let him go his destination, even he won’t know if you ever love a poet you will know he is no ordinary man his mind and heart explode with a mystic and cryptic plan only those who’ve been loved by a poet poetic love can understand with sweet love he may be here today but like the wind tomorrow gone but you will still love him all your life long ©5-16-2005 La Belle Rouge “Poetry, Love Whispers”
