Master the short poem

Write a short poem, short as you possibly can about LOVE, not sex; but true love. What you feel about another person. See my "Phantom of Love". 10 lines or less. No cussing; cutting, etc.

Use imagery, metaphors, similies, poetic language, impress me.

Good luck to all who enter.
