My Sweet Aphrodisiac

My Sweet Aphrodisiac                               July 13, 2012

On a stormy night,

I fear all evil,

For you are far, far away.

I cry,

Mainly because I lack the ability

To properly articulate

What I feel,

And yet, I write this to you,

Knowing full well

That you will abhor

Every word I type.

That has been

My experience

Ever since I have played

The part

Of the crooner.

 

I am hopelessly in love

With everything about you:

Oh, not just the thought,

But the smell,

The look,

The persona.

Yet, I can do nothing about it.

You are far, far away -

Far advanced in life

Compared to me.

What can I do but grieve?

I may go crazy -

Stark raving mad,

But without you,

There is no moving forward,

And I wail.

 

My soul is fading,

And as I said,

I fear for my sanity

All because I will probably

Never have you to lose.

This being said,

I shall always

Keep a flame for you,

From here onto Eternity,

To show you

My love

In all of its

Humble glory.

May God have mercy on me,

And may God bless you,

My sweet Aphrodisiac.
