Ode To the Agonies of Love

O the agonies of love!
Such glorious storms of rapture and despair
How I palpitate at the power of loves splender
and swoon under the tenderness of loves touch
O what joy and sweet surrender…….
I am filled with ceaseless longing
Only for love to turn and rend my heart in two
and plunge me helplessly tumbling
 into the very depths of despair!
But love rises from the smoldering embers
of my pain and rekindles once again love’s  tender flame

Interesting viewpoint here. I can't say that I ever longed for agony before, but you have a point.
