Love Bug
The smallest, most annoying pest,
Seeks the heartbeat of your breast,
In search of where to build its nest,
Bites you, and forgets the rest.
It's venom starts to flow within,
The earth beneath begins to spin,
You fail to suppress an arcane grin,
And know this fluster must be a sin.
Electricity runs through your veins,
Grants strength to free break from your chains,
Relaxes you from all your strains,
And comforts like a thousand rains.
Your heart and soul embrace confusion,
With open arms greet this intrusion,
Is this Utopia just an illusion?
You're overtaken by dillusion.
This high is almost more than you can take,
Heart beats so fast it starts to ache,
Your every muscle starts to quakes,
Your body's frightened it will break.
You feel the mite begin to hollow,
To your heart, it's home to wallow,
Unsure of what is next to follow,
The tension makes it hard to swallow.
It reaches it's last destination,
You can't describe this new sensation,
You're free of every old frustration,
And a host to a new creation.
You sigh as every problem slacks,
You melt away like candle wax,
You never been quite this relaxed,
Yet you still wonder about the tracks.
Of this gnat gnawing at your soul,
Making you, for once, feel as a whole,
Burning in your heart like fire and coal,
But can't help but let it take control.
You close your eyes, your face is smug,
You know its true but still you shrug,
Knowing it's stronger than any drug,
You've been bitten by the love bug.
