Mortal Love

"Love."

I am.

Afraid.

A hopeless romantic.

Fearing love.

My contradiction.

Isolates.

Safer than.

The risk.

Guaranteed loss.

Avoidable?

Questionable.

But death.

Undeniable.

Or human condition.

Will destroy.

If not ruined.

Desires control.

Mistakes.

Kill.

And the odds.

Hover.

Indefinitely.

But.

In love.

Its power.

Realized.

An atom bomb.

Consumes.

With love ascending.

Alluring fear.

Awakened spirits.

Adrenaline rushing.

Deeper.

Into beauty.

Overwhelming.

Medusa affect.

Obsession.

Painful hunger.

Fed.

And need.

Transformed from want.

Beyond comprehension.

Emotional drive.

A wildfire.

After lifelong droughts.

Undefinable.

Sans return.

Uncontrollable fall.

Powerless.

Ecstasy floats.

It feels so good.

Chemical high.

Intoxicating logic.

Reason exiled.

Elucidating.

Without words.

Dreams disclosed.

Failures welcomed.

Intellectual joust.

Consciousness dancing.

Familiarity.

An old friend.

Finding home.

Transcending passion.

Autoscopic view.

Art.

Belonging.

Trued safety.

Celestial travel.

Engulfed connection.

Speechless.

And palpable.

Earth shattering.

Reclusive shelter.

Swaddled.

In blissful harmony.

Acceptance answered.

Telepathic.

Understanding.

Flesh tingling.

Gut bubbling.

Celebration.

Souls burst.

Climactic expression.

Ruptured.

Massacred.

Stolen.

Lost.

And my heart.

Breaks.

Into darkness.

No, thank you.
