When a man is in love

how can he use old words?

Should a woman

desiring her lover

lie down with

grammarians and linguists?

***

I said nothing

to the woman I loved

but gathered

love's adjectives into a suitcase

and fled from all languages

But you will have to use some sweet adjectives - this is your weapon. Don't lose that suitcase - it will serve you right if you do.

They don't die that fast and not all of them die: some of them continue living and serve the purpose they were intended for, - just don't lose that suitcase of yours and use its content when appropriate.
