Carole Duet Poet Rhyme

The Lovers' Whirlwind

I'm caught up in another whirlwind. 
It blows me to you without a doubt, 
  tossed here, tossed there, tossed about.
 
Love and lust are both a knife, 
  cutting up
  bits and pieces of my life.
 
What part of my heart will you possess? 
The part that can only say,
              "Yes"? 

Without this dream of you out there 
  my heart would
  surely, scarcely bare.
 
So, take me away 
  with all the rest 
  who can never be the best.
 
We tumble and toss about within 
  the lovers' crazy, hazy whirlwind.
