The WRATH of Love

 

Oh-

I know all too well

about the wrath of love

and everything

that she is capable of

 

she is brutal and ruthless

and cunning and coy

and she will treat your heart

like her own silly little toy

 

she is a tyrant!

a dictator!

with a crushing rule

and out of you

she will make a fool

and have you saying and doing things

you never thought you would do

and there is no escaping  

her suffocating clasp

when she has you in

her overwhelming grasp

 

And if you think you can control her

you’re surly mistaken

your actions

 your thoughts

are all hers for the taking

and she will not stop

until

she drives you completely insane

and  then she will leave you with

nothing

but mind numbing pain

 

and beware

that it is impossible

for anyone to tell

how to defy her blinding

deceitful spell

and how to flee

her agonizing

heartbreaking hell

 

well as for me,

to keep her out,

I have locked up and bolted

and sealed up my door

after she left me so sadly

 aching and throbbing

and cut up and raw

 

and as for me,

there will be no more,

- wanting

or wishing

for any of this...

and under her jurisdiction

I will no longer exist....

 

I want to be boundless and free

just like the ocean

and not controlled by some silly

fleeting, emotion

I want to be limitless and light hearted just like the sea,

and not allow her to have "HER  WAY" with me...

I want to be ruled by my gypsy blood deep from within!

and to wrath of love I shall no longer give in!

Experience is always the best teacher. Good poem with lots of lessons.

"your surly mistaken" is a fascinating mix of entendre and expectation. So love doesn't rule gypsy blood? Also poignant and curious. And love is a she, that's odd too. You are from a different place, a place where many will be entranced, myself included. Great stuff!

Very entertaining...it felt as if Its some soap opera with ur poem told in the background under a hefty heavy tone, slightly increasing to levels of intensity as the end comes closer :)))
A very good effort...hail the gypsy blood...hehe...cares :)))
