A Love Undefined

A Love Undefined I, a passing thought In a dream, perchance, In the spotlight, caught By your fleeting glance Where my body did distort Like an awkward dance, A spasm to thwart Our ridiculous romance. You, infatuation, A beauty to behold, The forced combination Of every love story told, Like a hallucination, Outrageously bold And I was the abomination, Fragile and old. We, strangers embraced In our lonely years, O, our hearts raced For the audience, our peers, We writhed in haste Midst ecstatic cheers, And with uncertainty, faced The inevitable tears. Love then intruded, Beckoned by the thrill, Our hearts, deluded, Did flutter at will, But the passion that exuded Was just run of the mill And the chase, concluded Without the kill. Yet in my minds eye You danced with me, Between a heavenly sky And a devilish sea, To have lived and then die In that absurdity Will be the clichéd cry Of eternity. But dreams end And clocks unwind, Perhaps we can pretend That life was kind, My love, my friend, We are lost and blind As we wearily wend In a love, undefined. ©RJVHorton2016
