Infatuation

Love, the one whom I chase but will not slow;
On a mirror lake she floats still, a loon;
Unbroken horse, free, she will not go;
Golden like a goddess, she loves like the moon,
Pale as her bosom, climbing like a dove;
Like warm breath in early morn air, she flies;
Infatuation, it is but a false love,
Though I have thought it sometimes to be true;
It is a wisp of loves warm light,
Hidden in the shadows of discontent;
It is fog, turning man from loves will bright,
Toying with me, my will ever be bent;
I am man trailing pleading I haggle,
But love does not wane for men who straggle.

I liked this very much.  Especially liked the following:

"It is a wisp of loves warm light,
Hidden in the shadows of discontent"

Excellent description.

Nor for women...and infatuation may lead toward, or away from where the heart belongs.

Infatuation is a fine line,
you have to rope it in before it gets away from you.
Fabulous poem, truly,  
right down to the nitty gritty.

*Welcome*
It's nice to have you here.

The question on my mind is --

--one I can't ask. But oh is it ever on my mind.
