A LOVE THAT MAKES A MAN FANATIC

The growing winter night calls me,

The chilling breeze beckons me,

But I am lost in a long-gone memory,

Of the times I spent here with Daphne.

The silhouette of the hills is majestic,

The growing crescent is ecstactic,

But there is a wound deep inside me,

Which almost made me a lunatic.

The joy of loving is so magical,

It turns the earth into a paradise,

And the joy of parting is a slow killer,

That is known only to love's fanatic.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Composed on the evening of November 4, 2016, between breaks during work and a cup of green tea. Like other poems this poem also reveals that I just cannot forget my first and everlasting beloved DAPHNE JOHN.
