I am feverish, whoever knows,
Those hath been in love a minute at a time-
yet not know love! Nor the agonising wait!
but in a second can devour the beating of the heart,
Ah, thou art more than just a voice-
a tyrant whom rules none other than me
if ‘twere not meant to see beyond the cage-
let me not love nor breathe nor know of heartache.

Shout! Why doth love throw up it’s arms in surrender,
It’s dagger twisted into barb-its poison rejection
Thou say we hath not seen a common match-
but our soul did seek since birth another
as engulfed in flames the victory is lost to the other,
She-carried my tears on a fingertip-
a single strength now lost upon the dryness
make thoughts not now but of yesterday!

I wonder if we never met before the beats begun,
That thee would smile to another and I watch on-
did love we wore now wear upon a memory
become the grounds we serve ‘tis pleasures curse,
Tell me where all those years went-
I remember all before but none when thee left
born invisible to the aging distance.
Thou art on my thoughts almost every time;
and now your gone the feeling grew-
beyond the feeling of a dream.

did love we wore now wear upon a memory
become the grounds we serve ‘tis pleasures curse,
Tell me where all those years went-

to question love one should ask? was it love or a common task? memory plays with the mind, pulling the heart strings, only to find, if love was true, it would have stayed, for love never leaves, love never strays~
Some miss love by twelve inches, the space between the heart and the mind, what rules, the Heart or the mind? to whom do you follow? can one betray the other?Who is to lead, and who is to follow?
