To Tami

T’was a sweet flower’s smell

That cast upon me a spell,

Inspiration, bliss so divine

That love became mine

Do you have a notion,

Of what magical potion

And love’s true devotion

Sets my heart in motion?

T’is a fiery profound kiss

That touches my soul deeply

And makes my heartbeat miss

And love you ever so sweetly

What’s love but a feeling?

A passion, so fleeting?

Or is true commitment,

A deep, lasting sentiment?

Only time will tell,

What will become of the spell?

Love, can spring joy eternal,

Yet also pain infernal.
