She calls me her willing weakness
when I find her evening warm.
Dissipates within my voice
(syllables are but one form).

My words find her out of sorts
in tones I cannot express.
She destroys my well-planned verse --
she is also my weakness.

the feeling of this poem is pleasantly disturbing. although the last line is mildly distracting, it seems to me that this was exactly what you intended.

nice job illustrating the destructive powers of infatuation and the disruption they incite.

Disturbing? Destructive?

You got it right, Sunkissed. And so did you, Ron.

Not so distracting that you couldn't write this gem! Like it very much Mike.
