Love Poem: We Followed Love

We Followed Love

We followed love 
Who said it was our fate
To fall uncertain heights 
But love is a tricky customer
Who turns and changes course
With little warning
The passions of a steamy night
May vanish by the morning

We followed love relentless
Tuned and twisted
At his lead
Sure our love would blossom
We watered night and day the seed
But love is a distasteful master
Who hides and seeks
And changes course with little warning
The magic of a starry night
Can quickly cloud by morning

We followed love
But lagging 
Other straighter paths appeared
With love no longer in our sights
Down different roads
We steered
But still in every corner
I seek some love to find
I thought it had ran out on me
Now realize it was left behind

We followed love 
But in our haste
Our hearts and dreams
Were well misplaced
We followed love 
Who ducked and dived
And changed course with little warning
And all the kisses and the heat
Were dust 
And cold by morning.
