Love
Love.
Painful jester of the heart,
Who's arena is our emotions;
Who's playground is our lives.
Love.
Avaricious, hungered, stalking beast.
All are prey in your jungle.
All are consumed by your appetite.
Love.
Flamboyant, motley coloured, sparkling thespian.
Our dreams are your stage.
Your props are our needs, our desires.
Love.
Great deceiver of the nations.
Ruler of the multitudes.
Condemner of all.
Love.
You have mocked and laughed at me repeatedly.
I too have been your prey, fascinated by your glamour.
I know your lies all too well.
Love.
Endeared pain, brutal friend, pitilous saviour.
Like my kinsmen I am weak to you.
Horrified of you though lost without you.
Love.
Tender agony, beloved foe, subtle tormentor.
Come again...come.
Return once more anew, revived.
Love.
I know you well... |
