do not fall in love with a poet unless you can accept flickering candles at obscene hours and ink stains that cover their fingers and clothes and constant eye bags that they may need you to kiss do not fall in love with a poet unless you handle them dropping all and suddenly composing and then shutting you out in frustration of imperfection sometimes words just do not do the things that they want do not fall in love with a poet if you do not appreciate paragraphs about your eyes or if you do not have very beautiful prose your simplicity will scare; they will simply hide their heart do not fall in love with a poet and solely be swept away by their mesmerizing verses they will take you and transfix you in the dead of the night leaving you breathless but they'll be gone by morning k.c.
