Himeros' Curse

            Gazing at the moon and stars
              in the ethers above,
              i envy their togetherness,
             crave the evasion of my lonesomeness.
             I lay her drowning in amy anguish and turmoil.
             This unrequited love drains me of life,
              its tormenting embrace fills me with comfort,
             i have found peace in the war i waged against
             myself,
             i seek refuge in this state of exile,
             felt serenity in the midst of chaos,
             utmost pleasure in bitter pain.

                     Love is a madness
          that cunningly, seducingly draws one from sanity,
          a nightmare
          embellished with the most colorful of garments,
          resembling a daydream at first glance.
          It is a tempest creeping unnoticed to the calmest
         of oceans,
         a pest serpentining its way to devour the greenest
        of crops.

       This love i bare for thee has partially destroyed me,
        distance has cut parts of me open,
        but i shall complain no more,
     the deepness of the wounds caused by thine farness
      and thine ignorance of my affection,
       matter not,
       for your presence, a smile or glance from you
       suffice to heals my pains.
