Resume' De Amor

What lies before us is not always certain,
This world is full of obstacles and branching paths that we could have never imagined
Our plans are set in stone, forthright and true,
Then along comes chance and our love anew.

Confused and trodden becomes our focus,
Our plans and certainness all but tarnished
What is this epiphany that fate has spoken?
Are morality and conviction to be broken?

Eyes exchange glances and hearts begin to race,
Time has stopped and is now our servant,
Passion takes hold but could it be real,
Could this person truly feel what I feel?

A body warm and full of affection,
A face that God emulated ‘perfection’,
A touch so soft to ease flurried emotion,
A hold so captivating to enchant devotion,

A kiss that makes all the angles in heaven stop and stare,
A kiss that somehow makes this world worth it,
A kiss that shows that souls persist,
A kiss to show me love exists.

Reality snaps back and we look upon our created wreckage,
What we have done and morals we have shaken,
Existing upon this planetary system,
Are our man made codes and laws of action,
But how small and minuscule upon the greater picture,
Are these moral obligations to what could be true heartfelt passion?
I know how I feel and I know what I want,
And I know it hurts you to think of your loss,
Sometimes loss is the greater good,
As when a forest burns to ash for the greater good,
Rebuilt and strong it becomes renewed,
My forest is gone and waiting for you,
To become something greater then I could have ever imagined,
To be the love that I always wanted,
Feel my heart and how it beats for you,
You are the life that makes my world true.
What does your heart tell you?
I only hope you listen.
