Love at first sight

 

Together we unite

but in the darkness of the night

Filled with hope

we are fooled

as dawn brightens

and day comes

What was before

is no longer now

Passion vanquished

and sated

Hope remains but

clarity has a new destiny 

a new landscape

Lust remains

but insecurity

arouses doubt

Love is desired

but fearful of

what is required

The heart and soul

are in conflict

Another dilema stems

Drawn between so much

yet needs much too

This is part of our destiny

Nothing to be solved

but only lived

Time passes

little is learned

Yet we still yearn

for what is true

and a part of us

Why are we

so robbed and denied

of love

We are innocent 

yet persecuted

Such bondage is

unbearable to the soul

Come blessed relief
