My winsome Bavarian Rose,
I'm crazy with love, head to toes.
You've filled me with kisses,
(and cozy night blisses );
Oh my! How my silly heart glows.

I'd thought for a second there that you hadn't put a picture in this, it took quite a while to load. That said -----
with that first line, I don't think the image is at all necessary: if anything, it's a bit of a detriment, considering the redundancy it introduces. I also don't see the significance of the title, although rooting existence to love is a sentiment I really like, so I suppose this latter point's aporia to me.

I felt a quickening when I saw these two little announcements of your return: < and >
I love how you do love poetry in a way that it's ok. Usually, I cannot bear it. I think this works for me because you're not trying to make love seem too epic or earth-shattering -- I think "silly" helps in this vein, the slight bit of bemusement with the self.
Another thing I love about this poem: Ray is back! Ray is back! Ray is back! Ray is back!
