The Wily Wanderer Poem by John Sensele

Love, that wily wanderer who turns the world upside down
Who are lovers to question its verdict
When love lips metamorphose a man into a coquettish clown
Whose health and wealth feelings constrict.

Love, that wicked wind which melts men's steel
Who are flirts to resist its onslaught
When loving limpets glue men's eyes to the heel
Of a petite who travails their resistance to nought.

Love, that stealth sentinel who guards the gate to infatuation
Who are emotion explorers to block its flow
When beating hearts attend the ceremony graduation
Surrendering to vagaries of the love law.

Love, that head turner who spins reason
Who are adolescents to inhibit their newly acquired power
When feelings catalyze sentimental situations that season
Lasses' lives at the sight of a red rose flower.
