Love Is a Poison

love is a vicious posion
 that has no comparison.
 the black death, aids, cancer, ebola
 are not even close to its ranpit death toll.
 homicide and suicide follows this deadly
 mind configuring disease.
 Given in the right dosage 
 It is harmless and offer cures to many
 diseases that pre-exist.
 Given heavily, an overdosage offers
 adverse reactions and deadly side effects
 when a person is force to go cold turkey.
 It spikes up jealousy, envy, rage, depression,
 and madness like no other posion on earth it
 spirals out of control.
 The poison affects first the heart 
 when it is first introduced to the body.
 when it is suddenly taken away 
 the posion migrates to the brain.
 where dellusions festor and revenge
 becomes inevitable.
 uncontrollabe rage takes over the mind
 and harbors itself deep into the brain.
 where it grows to the point of hostile takeover.
 the host suffers from great depression that turns
 into suicidal and homicidal tendencies.
 without the proper anti-venium the 
 ability to restrain because weak.
 the drive to live becomes no more.
 Purpose of life
 becomes meaningless.
 death plagues the mind and
 a life or lives are taken.
 blood spilled over passion, desires and love.
 love is a poison
 that noone can outrun.

So much truth in this is so scary Mike. Very well written and love your perception and expressionless in this poem. Very nice and sad at the same time. But well love always has like a coin a two face about it. Two sides, good and bad one, and most of the time the bad one is the winner in the end of many stories today, especially the ones involving couples. Yes can be be sometimes a very powerful poison one that can destroy and kill many. Best to you! Xxxx D.
