The Trouble With Love

You swayed in like soft breeze
I felt my heart flutter
I wished you'd grab me, my hand you'd seize
Lost myself, not a word could I utter

Staggered towards me, sat so near
We breathed in the same air
Your loving gaze turned to leer
Tenderly stroked my hair

Your fragrance so exhilarating
I feared myself that moment
Enamored of you, conscience debating
Urged temptation to relent

I forgot myself in your placid smile
Besotted by you, completely
My child like mind no longer sterile
Bearing flowers of love so sweetly

A part of me cried in pain
Leave me not without a kiss
Desiring a tryst just soon, again
Sudden desolation, gone my bliss

As Jealousy Ensues..

Stories of success reach my ear
August tales of ones so near
I don't want to know, I don't want to hear
Nurturing my woes, igniting my fear

A fire so violent spreads within
Pangs of hatred, heating my skin
Forget my kind, forget my kin
All's a crime, all's a sin

Reclusive, shattered, distant I lie
Droplets of tears, a heavy sigh
Awaiting the fury to pass me by
Crying "No one is better than I!"

This destruction of inner peace
This malicious replacement for bygone ease
The vicious sparks of wistful decease
My mind blacks out and my soul flees

Come back to your senses, little one
Bask in the gay rays of the shining sun
As special as you, there are none
One battle lost, a thousand to be won!
