Daphne

Love is dangerous and complicated

Even those who wish to avoid its snare

Cannot ever be completely free from it.

Consider Daphne

Who in avoiding love was in fact caught

In her freedom she was even more enticing

To those she wished to avoid

Her flight ended in a disaster

Perhaps this tale illustrates

That resistance to Love is a futile attempt.

Maybe it is just better to give in

And allow Love to run its course.

For once it tires of the game

It is likely to relinquish its prey.

However if one tries to flee

It’s grip grows ever tighter

Till misfortune is inescapable.
