Had the lovers not possessed such skill and panache
Had their love, written about in interminable paragraphs, been
A bit flawed, a bit imperfect…..
Had the characters- the heroine, her man, her cousin, been
A little layman-like
And not demigods, astounding beyond imagination
Had I been a bit less dreamy,
A bit more admirer of magic realism A bit well, less addicted to poe
Then the Adonis would have bowled me over!
