The Fire Within

theano's picture
How is it possible to love sight unseen?
Feel the words like arms wrapped round?
And each breath mingle with what you glean
As you read each word slow and spellbound.

As it begins each time you swear you will stop
But you crave the words like an addictive drug
And you make up wild tales through teardrops
And the words call your name as you shrug.

You decide to look just one more time and sigh
As the truth begins to encircle your mind
You realize and feel captivity by your inward eye
And love has come and your heart is entwined.

All your schemes and plans to remain alone
Come tumbling down through a heart felt poem
All your sense and sensibilities have flown
For a moment's taste of love's sweet honey comb.

Now in angst and anguish you await and lie
Trying over and over again to rationalize
The path to take, to walk away or satisfy
The writhing fire within, that begins to tantalize.

There is no middle path when love enters in
There is only flame, fire, and intense desires
And the decisions to run or mentor sin
Creates your life that quenches and inspires.

You can love sight unseen
And words will connect the hearts and beam
Love's eternal and evergreen
Quest to mold and create a desirable dream


The cost will always be high
For love's price is creative souls combined
It cares not what rule or who it mortifies
Only that you make the ultimate compromise.
