What is Love?

Lust overtakes my body with a glance of your beauty,
Overpowered by infatuation I entangled myself with you,
Verbal, physical and emotional contact deepens.
Eventually decisions are made paving the future.
May these simple thoughts ever cover its duty,
These wounds from my fire tongue I couldn’t protect you,
Desire, expectations and perceptions of our lives withers,
The greatest fruitage of the human spirit, love is.
