Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Raging Inferno

Love doesn't need to knock you down
Sometimes it's ever so subtle
Before you know it you're under it's spell
Helplessly trapped in love's bubble

No use trying to escape the entrapment
It's futile you're under it's spell
After long and heightened anticipation
Your pulse is racing like hell

The absolute extreme best kind of love
One that's totally uncontrived
The kind that happens when least expected
That takes you by complete surprise

Excitement as much as you can bear
You think you're going insane
Can't sleep, can't do normal everyday things
Your world has been set aflame

Love often starts so innocently at first
And grows into a love tornado
Passionate love that builds and builds
Until it's a raging inferno!
