Love Paths

sprinted by the love of lust
                                        firmly walked by those who trust
                                         breathed upon by warm desire
                                         moments spent beside the fire
                                       plotted out with marked restraint
                                          fallen to by swoon and faint

                                          gazed upon with starry eyes
                                        muddy from heartbroken cries
                                            baptized by a single tear
                                         never trod by those who fear
                                           timid, shy, reluctant feet
                                        mindful of the stones we meet

                                         stumbled on by reckless feet
                                      softened where two lovers meet
                                          blind to any right or wrong
                                           lost within a lover’s song
                                      blind to where the path will lead
                                         lost to travel paths of need
