Love Songs

The rarity of good love songs
is not a surprise to me in the least-
I have learned
that no matter how beautifully you sing,
you could never do justice to the feeling;
No matter how perfect the metaphor,
there is no description,
only experience.

When you fall in love,
there is no more a reason to search
through creation,
so the best of itself goes unnoticed,
but for the memories you embrace
for the intimacy of keeping it your own.
