The Power of Love.....


It has a power that is second to none
Far more than any battle fought and won
It takes control and before you know
You have come across your greatest foe

It makes you lose all sense of reason
It has no care for time or season
A sickness this could seem to be
A cancer that no medic will see

Your mind is controlled and thinks no more
You cannot function that's for sure
Its frightening and strikes out of the blue
You're not even sure how it got to you

But it found a flaw in your body and struck
You'll look for a cure but there's no such luck
For now its got you and reeled you in
You're on to a loser and never can win

A logical thought is a thing of the past
But the feeling is good and surely can't last
Just thinking of them can make you feel sick
Then back to reality well that was quick

Its a power game between heart and head
A path that sometimes is tricky to tread
Your heart says yes but your head says no
You're so confused but which way do you go

The things in life that were so easy to do
Are no longer the ones important to you
To be with that person no matter the cost
Forgetting the price or whatever you've lost

Its the strongest emotion a human can feel
And when it hits you you'll know when its real
But if you should fail to keep this heart
Then you will learn the hardest part

Its not a feeling turned off like a tap
You'll know you are lost but there isn't a map
The pain in your heart will go on forever
It doesn't go away and the hurt leaves you never

Even when they give you a reason for hate
You cannot do it they were still your best mate
And as the years pass you on by
There are still the times when you want to cry

For once love is given and surely meant
There's a niche in your heart from where is went
It cannot be filled and never ignored
For that would mean you are truly flawed

You just have to store these feelings for now
Its a difficult process but you'll learn how
And then you can move on within your life
These feelings no longer fill you with strife

So listen to your head and love with care
You don't know how long this person will be there
Don't take a chance if the risk seems high
Listen to your head when it asks you why

If you're lucky to love and find the best
Then you won't need to put this to the test
You can survive eternity happy with your mate
Sure that everything is not all down to fate

The moral of this tale is easy to tell
Once you have suffered you know it well
Love with care and if your heart rules your head
Listen to you brain and let that rule instead!

the hardest part is thinking with your mind instead of your heart.  If that was so easy, there wouldn't be heartache....great poem.

Welcome to Dark Passions. Great first post! I look forward to read more from you.

 I`m running out of time, I`m out of step and closing down, I never sleep for wanting hours the empty hours of greed. And uselessly always the need to feel again the real belief, of something more than mockery. If only I could fill my heart with love. -Robert Smith

"You cannot function that's for sure."  Here I thought I was one of the few staring at my ceiling at 3:00am wondering why I couldn't close the emptiness inside.  Good job.

What can i say Walter says Hi This is a great poem full of what love can be I certainly recognise much of this poem from my own life.

Very beautiful

  Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
