Amor

Nations and kingdoms – destroyed and forsaken

Men slaughtered in the blood-spattered earth

Obsessions have even led some, lives were taken

Still remains the question, what love is worth?

Is it a curse – a pestilence or some plague?

A madness that drives the minds insane

A burning desire, passion, bold, and vague

A divine intervention or an illusion of the brain?

A mystical, omnipotent power that shrouds everything

Greater and more authoritative than the realm of Hades

For when the fair Aphrodite in her foamy throne springs;

Fallen are those who succumb to the radiance of the lady.
