Love Levies A Toll

Once pierced by Cupid's arrow, love's the only thing you feel. For hope banishes all pain to the fringes of real. As euphoria floods in, sparks spontaneously start. And a warm sensation stirs; in the cockles of your heart. Forged upon desire's anvil, fantasies burn hot as coal. And tides of hope ebb and flow, in a lonely heart and soul. Freed by the passage of time; anxieties drift away. And though love levies a toll, lonely hearts willingly pay.
