Description of Love


I am consumed by a strange desire.

that compels me to act.

Yet at the same time forbids me speak.

Such and overpowering feeling

that I cannot deny,

which somehow demands I do.

What then is my course of action?

Am I doomed to stand at an impasse?

Or can I somehow escape the monarch

that commands my mind.

 

This all-consuming desire

is so powerful

I can barely focus.

But to ignore this

would be to cease existing.

Is it a natural part of life,

to say destiny perhaps?

No, too far, perchance it is fate.

Yes fate has placed such a desire.

And should one try against fate?

Then I shall embrace this

And endeavor to fulfill my desire.
