Love Poem: The Pit

The Pit

So what is love?
A kiss, a touch, a state of mind;
A fickle glance, a poet’s line.
An unending pit of shame
Into which sordid passions rain.
A “forever” love I’ll never claim.

But wait…
Who comes and passes by?
He stops and looks back, enticingly shy.
He beckons, I follow~~~
Watch out!  The Pit!!
Too late…

I
    fall
           to
                 meet
                             the
                                     bottom.
