Up for Grabs

The realization that there's more to life than the fantasy of love.

By Stanley Collymore

 

Please teach me about love, as this unconquerable feeling

I’m experiencing within me is literally pulling me apart.

For on the one hand I genuinely want to save myself

until I’m in a reciprocally meaningful relationship

while on the other the unbridled and utterly

uncontrollable lust you’ve spontaneously and

excitingly evoked in me lends itself immutably to the

sponsorship of an entirely different and conflicting

attitude where the stoical restraints of reason and

commonsense are pitted adversarily against

the unyielding Siren voices of my heart!
