Falling

Prologue

And always has it been

From dawning of first time

When boy meets wondrous girl

That true love light will shine

Forelsket

It starts with lifting joy

A sweet mind-numbing bliss

All stemming from the first

And gentle tender kiss

Soft butterflies inside

A sweet euphoria

The Danes gifted the world

They name it Forelsket

Filipendulous

I look into her eyes

My heart and soul do soar

She gives me all of her

And yet I still want more

She is my only care

My life now upended

Upon the thread of her

I become suspended

Abulia

Now I am no longer

The master of my soul

She is my destiny

My one and only goal

To her I will bequeath

Mastery of my will

There is no sense of me

Just her forever, still

Nepenthe

All too soon she is gone

Too soon our love does end

And in my broken heart

A crippling pain descends

I must forget my love

And quell this hurt in me

I turn to Ancient Greece

A drug called Nepenthe

Epilogue

And always shall it be

Till the end of all days

That ev’ry love will grow

In mysterious ways
