RE: The Larvae of Love

WOWZA. You captured SO well the ache, the pain, the overwhelming all consuming... FEELS of love. I am left breathless just form reading it.

Thanks Byn!

After writing the first stanza, I wondered where to take it. After I finished writing it, I thought I'd need to write another version at some point, without the humorous side to it, and just make it fully serious.

But even before your comment, I started thinking that it also accomplishes that route, of being overtaken, consumed, by love, and that how humorous or not you read it as is up to you as a reader. Your comment does help me feel like I've succeeded in that.

Thank you :)

Maybe I've been married way too long and maybe I enjoy humor in life, but I thought it was so potent and realistic that even the humor bits fit well for my tastes!
