A Love Undefined

A Love Undefined 

I, a passing thought
In a dream, perchance, 

In the spotlight, caught 
By your fleeting glance 

Where my body did distort 
Like an awkward dance,

A spasm to thwart 
Our ridiculous romance. 

You, infatuation, 
A beauty to behold, 

The forced combination 
Of every love story told, 

Like a hallucination, 
Outrageously bold 

And I was the abomination, 
Fragile and old. 

We, strangers embraced
In our lonely years, 

O, our hearts raced 
For the audience, our peers, 

We writhed in haste 
Midst ecstatic cheers, 

And with uncertainty, faced 
The inevitable tears. 

Love then intruded, 
Beckoned by the thrill, 

Our hearts, deluded, 
Did flutter at will, 

But the passion that exuded 
Was just run of the mill 

And the chase, concluded 
Without the kill. 

Yet in my minds eye 
You danced with me, 

Between a heavenly sky
And a devilish sea, 

To have lived and then die 
In that absurdity 

Will be the clichéd cry 
Of eternity. 

But dreams end
And clocks unwind, 

Perhaps we can pretend 
That life was kind, 

My love, my friend, 
We are lost and blind

As we wearily wend 
In a love, undefined.
