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.
