The Mystery of Love

Love is a mystery 
Entwined in threads of sorcery 
Like a beautiful scenery 
Laced in baffling embroidery; 
Only a heart of mastery 
Can tame the course of its misery 
For the lure of its debauchery 
Can bind a soul to slavery.

A truly original take on the multilayered nature of love, with both its misery + elation. Congratulations! Brian
