The Lady

The lady is the one I love, the lady and her passions; passions for life, love and knowledge.

As I travel along life's long road she is forever in my heart and mind.

She who possesses me like a fever and makes me tremble all over when I touch her.

She who sees and knows so much, who gives me lessons in love and forgiveness of others.

Her heart and soul is filled only with light and joy.

I smile as I think of her throughout the day and indeed every waking moment.

I know that she has poisoned me and that poison is a dangerous and wild beast that flows through my very core.

It makes my heart race and my mind and indeed body quiver.

I am weak and I cannot resist her and she in turn will not release me from my self imposed imprisonment.
