Love's Shadow

Poetry Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

Love will come as fast as it will go;

No one can predict what the shadow will do,

It pulls and rips from the inside out;

It begins its battle within the heart                                                                                  by replacing the arrow of love with a poison dart.

The dart of poison will take effect in your brain

giving you a distorted conception of your surrounding domain.

The shadow of love also carries a knife

that may stab your heart for the rest of your life.
