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
