The fevered mind flashes
   first fire then ice
Emotions converged and
   then caught in a trice
Syllables spill from a
   gibbering tongue
Never quite knowing if
   you're old or too young
Seeing the beauty of
   the sun in her smile
Watching the form of her
   lover awhile
We lay in the dark and
   we swear we won't cry
We write our black words with
   a pen that's gone dry



Sing while you may
-The Prophet Q'spel

Your pain is for you alone, As it is, As it was, As it will be forever, Amen
-The Prophet Q'spel

Love in a nutshell!
Some great lines here:
"We write our black words with
   a pen that's gone dry"
I love that, and this:
"Syllables spill from a
   gibbering tongue"
reminds me of myself on a good day!

Syllables spill from a gibbering tongue. Wish I'd written that. I like it a lot.

Gosh I hate to be unoriginal, but I like those 2 lines particularly too. All around fantastic poem. I like the way you describe the  writing fever, which sometimes can torture, and also the hardships of love.
