The Stowaway.

The Stowaway.

I've always considered myself

to be of sound mind;

thoughts arranged in an orderly fashion

until I had a short circuit

then thoughts went crazy.

You see.....

I had a stowaway. 

I didn't know at first

but yes, a woman's thoughts

had entered my mind

in the obvious way,

   the love bug!

All of a sudden

she was constant, 

the whole focus  24/7,

I just couldn't think straight.

I was being taken over,

she was there, in me

every step of the way.

All my original thinking patterns

were pushed aside, rearranged;

furniture that was mine.

While the focus is Her.......

as she wanted,

I'm struck down......

by the love virus.

I don't know when I'll recover

The doctor just said.

" You'll never be the same."

The Stowaway!

I have one question, is the sound mind back??? Hope that madness lingers, it is good madness. lol

Wow nicely put, the 24/7 takeover. Love can be such an addiction. I enjoyed the poem.

Blessings

Gordon Downie has a great refrain ... I could have made chancellor without you on my mind. That love bug hits us all ... pleasant at first painful if it goes unmet. Lovely write here:)
