Re: Love is a Battlefield

Soulful outpourings from a soul devoid of an abode,

House  this hedonism,
Before it leaves like thieves in heist ridden flights,

Be wary of the road for footsteps are cruel reminders of the glorious staircase to a destination unknown,

Your body lies dormant,cold, foreign but not alone,

My inertia is cradled by confidence crushed, by the perennial naysayers, Grizzled gatekeepers,

Wellwishers are whipped into an frenzy of incessant fervour, Your ego screams did you deserve her ?

For is she the siren you seek?

Mutual conversation exchanged like the sweetest hymn,  Her words complete the tapestry , The brushstroke that completes the masterpiece,

Too old for infatuation, I can hear your heartbeat,

But your love is promised to another,

Truth a perverse paralysis that engulfs my intuition,

If love is a battlefield, Then I stand before you as a bludgeoned gladiator,
