Reason V Love, 1 of 2

Within my mind neglected Goddess lies, With foaming mouth and reddened eyes enraged, She claws the lobes with needful shrieks and cries, This beast is rabid Aphrodite caged. Her presence Mother Nature bargain gifted, Appeasing Death to spring forth creatures new, But I am self-aware enough and lifted To challenge Love and lockup all her dues. Yet even so this shell is sick and frail, And cracks with craze when carnal pleasure fasts; The slugging Reason symptoms Love’s prevail, The shun of one can sum them both outcasts. The need for Love I grudgingly resent, Upset the Reason’s poor for sole content.
