Love Poem: A Quiet Love

A Quiet Love

One look is all it takes to spark romance
Heartstrings can feel the slightest gentle tug
An unassuming way, a playful glance
Then hearts begin to beat rhythms of love

Obsession fuels unquenchable desire
One stolen kiss will melt her in your arms
A slap of virtue sets a face on fire
Soft spoken words will quiet all alarms

But love is never easy, thus it's plight
Old fashioned customs build a brickless wall
To earn love and respect one has to fight
It seems at times love's power conquers all

Ironic how love makes us fight for peace
And quiet men will fight for love's release
