An Overwhelming Emotion

There is not anything I can say that the poem doesn't.

 

An Overwhelming Emotion

 

There is no word to describe it.

Every word ever written palls in comparison.

What is a man to do when his his soul sings forth,

But in a language without representation,

Which no song ever written could relate to,

this elation,

this joy,

this overwhelming emotion.

 

It is a volcano rising.

upward, into my soul.

Ignoring the bonds of comprehension.

Fire and passion spewing forth without restraint.

An eternal fire of unconceivable energy.

This happiness,

this delight,

this overwhelming emotion.

 

Understanding once stood as a mighty dam.

Holding back this unchecked power.

Now broken, as the unstoppable refuses to be held.

Nothing is greater or more enjoyable,

A surging power uncontrolled,

this spirit ,

this strength,

this overwhelming emotion.

 

It is not love, though it feels similar.

Though love may have been the igniting spark,

It is more than that.

It is too strong too great to recognize as one emotion.

Only those who have experienced it understand.

this fire,

this yearning,

this overwhelming emotion,

 

Its direction is the only comprehend able factor.

Its focus on one goal.

Its sights set on the one I must have.

Like a compass showing the path to eternal bliss.

It will not be ignored and must be followed.

this guidance,

this instruction,

this overwhelming emotion.

I must say, this still makes me happy.
