Desire

Her beauty doth arouse temptation

So fiercely though I cannot imagine

My struggle to resist laying upon my hand

The fairest strands that sit a top her head.

My hands tremble with delight

 

I sit in the midst of the worlds greatest disaster.

Yet I am reduced to the simplicities of batting my eyes

For this woman hath stolen my sight

Upon hers I am commanded to view.

Tis simply a fate solely unwished upon by few.

Her unwavering gaze cannot be replaced

By even the finest rewards from the heavens themselves.

The angels permit themselves to admire only afar.

For if too closely they arrive t'would be a prison.

The very same prison I hath myself locked within.

The key resting below where the heart doth reside.

To leave I wish not,

For to remove my eyes requires strength unseen by man.

I am a prisoner to my own Desire
