PARADOX

While the throbbing of the heart is the same,

Sometimes obsession can be mistaken for love . . . .

 

The effects of each result in different outcomes

The delusion of emotions like a desert mirage,

Takes me through the shifting sands of passions

Down dark passageways and alleyways of perdition.

 

The more she withdraws the more drawn to her I am

Like a siren on the rocky shore she summons me . . . .

 

Beckoned not so much by abject calling but by her denial.
