Love Poem: The Temptress

The Temptress

She sets my heart aflutter
So much so I wish she would mutter
Those words "I do"
In front of onlookers in a pew

My heart says it can be so
My mind says it is a no
Should I continue to try 
Lock it inside refusing to cry

Her tricks put me
In some stage of glee
Her tricks go tell
My heart straight to hell

I play hard to get
But hope she will not forget
I pursue her to no end 
My heart I will have to mend

The power struggle between heart and brain
Is larger than one Caesar and Pompey could maintain
Although in a few months we depart
I cannot deny my heart

But I am young
    I should get over it
But wish to hear those words flutter from her tongue
