Love is oft mad
at least it is common
for those who are in love
to behave madly most often

whether love at first sight
or as an earned right
love’s haze can refuse 
the darkest of midnights
to acknowledge or confuse
bright beauteous light

thus driving one to action
bound later for redaction



for as Shakespeare said
in lines wise writ and read
“Things bad and vile, holding no quantity
love can transpose to form and dignity.”
