Love Is...

Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
...

You leaned over and you kissed me
I felt my knees go weak
You leaned over and you kissed me

Her face is full of angles and bones;
Our teeth click
In a tangle of tongue and lip;
Her eyes stare at my face,

I've made a vow, to no one but you
I pledge my love to forever be true
I'll take care of you and treat you right
I'll lay beside you all through the night

'Venus...Mars...and Plunis! ' she says.
When I was six or seven my father
woke me in the middle of the night.
