A Letter Of Longing To A Potential Lover
Forgive me do, for I have fallen in love with you
Tis' very true, so try now to wrangle for reasons why
This is what seems to be the downfall, pitfall, blind-spot
Of man's condition, a rendition of certain ruin
A pantheon performance, which marries personal prohibition
With personal seduction, so now the soul is set in shackles!
For feigning pride and honest humility, are dutifully set aside
Chosen, engaged as composers and conductors
Of a state that may well be, consciously concieved
As chaotic creation alas! for revelation and delegation
Have reared their moral mount, heeding and heralding
Their seemingly heavenly host, and doth take a sip serene
From a truthful, trusting toast, admirably allowing
Countenance's flood-gate's when, given half the chance
To let freely flow forward, the suffering soul's long-worn sanity stormward
Hence, emotional escape! now peacefully surrounds the ecstasy-enthused ether!
For too many times to mention, these fettered feelings hath suffered
Some apparently essential, existential detention!
Some well might say, tis' evolution's extravagant yet exhausting way
To god-like germinate, and lay claim
With a nomenclature-nuisance name
