A poetry exercise

If anyone's game, this could be fun.

Okay - write a poem about (god save me) love.

I'll set the rules, but the feedback on individual poems is of course a free-for-all.

The rules: your poem must be under twenty lines long (this is just a matter of practicality - if a few people reply, I want to be able to read all their poetry without switching off, which is easier with shorter pieces).

You may not use any of the following words: love, cherish, adore, beautiful, eyes, I, you, your, she, her, he, his, my.

Your poem must center around a single image.
