Disorientation

DISORIENTATION Ever since you came into my life I have been in a constant turmoil My head is afloat on a wave crest My heart trying to leave my chest And all around me, emotions coil Disorientated thinking is now rife Since that time I haven’t breathed At least not deeply, to understand Why everything is spinning around Yet no helpful answer have I found I’m but a stranger, in a strange land And for sanity’s sake, not believed Maybe the power you hold over me Is too strong to manage and control It feeds on our passions and desire And burns bright, like a raging fire Drawing up strength from the soul It is real, almost as if a third entity But yet, I still cannot think straight Swirling around, as if on a carousel I never thought love as an aberration Yet I kind of enjoy this disorientation Will it come to rest, I really can’t tell As surely, in good time, it will abate
