affair of the heart

I used to hear stories

about the things people did

when filled with feverish longing such as this.

Losing their heads over affairs of the heart...

"Fools", I'd say, as I shook my head,

Not understanding the true depth of it all.

Then you, beautiful you,

walk back in,

and suddenly everything is clear.

Now I comprehend these crimes of passion

that books are written about.

"Fools" no more, in these eyes of mine,

only forbidden lovers

who could withstand separation

no longer...

Come to me,

 be with me,

our souls will become entangled

our bodies will become one.

My kiss in the crook of your neck

as you breathe words of longing

deep into my ear...

This desire,

     this overwhelming,

             all consuming,

                longing

becomes increasingly more than I can withstand.

Losing my head over this affair of my heart....
