The Baffled Lover
How do I love thee?
with two destinies: east and west
The choices me and her;
I yearn to top the rest.
But evereyday, it’s all the same
I face the uncertainties.
destitute in trust;
and impoverished with honesty,
I smile along anyway.
My heart to tame;
You brought the day.
I get half the glory.
Why did I love thee?
North and South I have been pursued
ne’r did I follow.
Stray you not I do;
Only a whisper,
Only the breeze,
I come running.
Chained with the thorns of love,
I comply.
Eternal hope, gifted to me;
Resolute pivot of love, you are naye
but only a whisper,
only the breeze,
caressed by your love,
I sit eternal.

Narcissus
Narcissus, I shall call you
- desiring nothing but you’re own image;
blind to existence,
to whom everyone must pay homage,
deaf and mute to be just
-still, love takes me hostage.
Tied with sparks at your will,
to breathe you in, I must.
Too kind to lies, I am becoming.
It ain’t fair, but Help, I’m not calling.
To live through fire, I must learn.
The fuel of your desires nourishes each withering cell,
keeping it breathing to burn.
What choices do I have?
I am now inept to stay in reality;
the proficiency of which, stolen from me.
My youth and my innocence gone,
but naive I stay still.
What is there left to give?
I am drained and famished.
