Maybe I spoke too soon
Maybe Cupid's venom is an elixir of the heart after all

When the posturing is done
When the games and bravado pass away

and there alone stands a man's heart
there alone stands his soul
spilled out on the page

perhaps then
perhaps then

something can begin
when she says, "this is the real man"

Those lines could stand alone.
A very humbling poem and I liked your title too.

Way to go, Martini man~

Thanks Blues. I like your edit, I will consider it. It does suit the title better that way.

Perhaps then
Perhaps then...
I like the hope, the humility,desperation, the detachement feelings these two lines bring up. Creative title...well done.

love isn't easy I guess, there is a first part and then it really begins...Thanks for the poem.
