Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Love Was My Weakness-Monotetra

There is a weakness I must fight
Bane of my emotional plight
Holding me in its grasp too tight
My kryptonite       My kryptonite

I always thought that I was strong
and with this man I did belong
Love has me singing a torch song
My heart was wrong   My heart was wrong

When I felt I was past the pain
and from his grip I could abstain
Twas then I felt my courage wane
He called again     He called again

Love blinds me to what I should see
My heart and mind do not agree
Amorous thoughts wash over me
Love, set me free     Love, set me free

Love blinds me to imperfection
but after honest reflection
My heart has no more objection
To protection          To protection

Victor Buhagiar October 6, 2021 at 2:02 AM This type of poem is new to me. I must search for it. A lovely romantic poem. Hope you'll read mine with a tongue in the cheek but alas it's rather long. Jenna Logan October 6, 2021 at 6:54 AM It's 8 syllables per line and then a repeat of 4 syllables...all rhyming. I did read your romantic poem and left a comment.

David Kavanagh October 5, 2021 at 11:07 AM Brilliant Jenna, I can sense the ambivalence, but it goes beyond that, the tearing of yourself apart, human intellect at war against human impulses, our greatest weaknesses and strengths, yet equally powerful in there own way, you smashed this one, cheers David Jenna Logan October 5, 2021 at 3:54 PM The heart usually wins over the mind and then regrets it. Thank you, David.
