With his venom

With his venom
irresistible
and bittersweet

that loosener
of limbs, Love

reptile-like
strikes me down

    Very simple and to the point. Its flow is smooth and perfect; it flows gently and smoothly and pleasant to the tongue and the mind. A lovley poem, well-written, and truly worth the read.

    Like the form, and the gentle way each line goes to the next one. It is quite a lovely piece here.
