Intensity

The sweet acid bite of white fire passion
Courses through veins, inflicts reason's release,
Transforming the soul's innocent ration
In masochistic metamorphosis.
Cruelty mandates fierce iron-clad will
Where infatuation goes unreturned;
Bless'd agony is a lover's due fill,
Desired venom for temp'rate marrows burned.
Yet satisfaction gained - what short-liv'd bliss!
Scrutinized perfection dies in the light.
Eternity lasts as long as a kiss;
Shooting stars fade into gray-tinged night.
Malady of love, with ev'ry drawn breath -
'Tis beautiful disaster, living death.
