Love is composed
of a mouth and a nose
but not on the same
neck or skull, I suppose
as an eye and an ear
that appear to adhere
to the opposite sides
of your soul,
Aristotle.

wow. This blew me away. This is quite an original idea and I love originality. I love the odd rhyme of it. It makes it sound poignent and punctual and sharp, but teasing. Ohhh, I'll be reading this again. Thanks for entering.
