dear Chris... a year later... and it seems the World is topsy Turvey. However, Love is a feeling that we choose through all sorts of Weather.
Our feathered friends still gather to sing their Songs, and I leave Seeds for them... for strength and fortitude. Be blessed... Pat

Delmar Cooper(the third person in the usual human trinity of perspectives ) sat down to write:
"This is a poem of pleasant simplicity that gives this reader .... yada, yada, yada. "
I (numero uno in the trinity) slapped his crusty old a*s away from the keyboard. I don't think it is simple at all. I think it is so subtle as to be almost subversive. "Love defies all logic" the poet says, and then logically intersects words that support the logical floor plan of a building composed of illogical parts - an improbable structure, rigid in its lithesome ability withstand the body blows of third person blowhards like my esteemed colleague who started this comment.
I like the first stanza a lot - where rock rhymes with an unmentioned lock and key rhymes with me as easily as it does sea. "Pleasant simplicity" , my hind foot.
There is a line I don't like, it begins: "In truth..." I suspect statements that begin with "let me tell you the truth". I hear those words and my sphincter flashes the intrusion warning. Otherwise, I really like the poem , all three of us do, you know?

This poem fills me with love's enchantment.
In five simply elegant, heartfelt verses you convey its boundlessness and its undisputed supremacy over all else in the universe.
Kudos dear Chris!
Love is so magical, I feel it must be treated with such reverence lest it vanish like a phantom in the dark night.

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals there of are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.
Song of Solomon 8:6-7
After reading your poem I instantly thought of these verses.. and they actually fit quite well.

Albert, my paternal grandfather introduced me to Tennyson when I was nine. I have loved poetry ever since but did not attempt writing a single piece until I was 40. It's never too late to try somethin.. more..
