Love--Effects

mesmerized by it
He is strong,callous and selfish,
I have never seen him cry or shaken,
but due to it,he weeps like a baby
for his better-half departed prematurely.

       controlled by it
Builds up killer instincts and sparks off
jealousy and hatred;Don`t touch her,
don`t caress her,don`t kiss her or you are doomed;
A meat not to be eaten by anyone,
not even my beloved brother.

       Perturbed by it
Wonder into the wilderness of no return,
I blaze through the sky and galaxies
seeking for comfort and tranquility,
yet, I couldn`t sleep nor rest.

       Blindfolded by it
I walk in thick darkness seeking
for pleasure,pleasure that is void;
void and illusive,but don`t care,
I turned deaf ears to discouragement of others,
yet,I was deceived.
