Love's Deception
Love is a trench
In a world of chaos
The deeper the fall
The deeper it leads
Until it becomes a chasm
Inescapable and irretracable
Leaving those who wandered thus far
The reward of recklessness
Love is light
But the shadow it casts
Irrepressible and looming
Warns of foreboding doom
For in the beginning
Before the birth of light
There was darkness
And darkness has been
Love is a claw
That tickles the skin
Before it packs a pound
And stains the dance floor with its colour.
