Transient

Like a transient thought
You entered my dialogue
Seeking to become
Discourse of my mind

Confusing my words
You tampered response
Bemusing my mood
Feigning what love was

Until reality grasped
A fraudulent trespass
Holding firmly at bay
Faux vision of romance

Yet, our rendezvous
Was willingly allowed--
Lascivious to assuage
Exotic wish of the heart

Yes, love can create many moments indeed. Many moods. Some are felt and understood- while others leave the mind and heart searching. Your thoughts tangle around each other- holding a beautiful mood. Congratulations Vijay, on this win. ~ Brandy

No one would ever understand, one of a kind human state! Digging deep into the mind, trying to please and answer the call of the heart! Sometimes, it is confusing swaying between what is real and fake! "Transient" are these feelings.. A poet's insight of heart and mind would win the fight.. I like this type of writing that shakes the soul.. Wonderfully and profoundly conveyed! Warmest wishes. Merry Christmas dear Vijay, have a blissful time. God bless you.

Love is complicated. In the sense that one may tangle around our emotions. Not meaning to confuse, but- perhaps they do. Sometimes, desires of the heart cannot be tamed. Your words always move me. ~ Brandy
