Some hopeless romantic writing
In Love With A Maiden

Time and space have no meaning,
Length and width have no leaning
On the heart of a man
Who in love makes his stand
For a maiden.

Numbers and variables make no question,
Food and drink are no occasion
For a man in love
With a maiden.

The time and length that
Lean on his heart
Are the time and length when they are apart;
And the food and drink that
Cause sorrow to stir
Are the food and drink not shared
With her.

The wisdom and teachings that
Should cause a mind to thirst,
Above all of this,
The maiden comes first.
