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.
