Feverish Hearts
Our hearts are feverish
powerful as love
Love to be defined
to a heart fickle
A wandering soul
Desire appears
as the sun sets
Night falls
You wonder how betrayal
has captured you
with pain and sorrow
You carry it
like a torch
passion is delirious
You really had me pegged
Funny but I think you knew me
better than I did
Was I that vain and shallow
only the broken hearted know
better than I could
If I could say I was special
you’d be the one to tell me; No
you only think you are
How’s a man supposed to know?
You said Oh you can write
but tell me are you sincere
I know my heart was beating
But for who?
The poet who defined love
as the one thing unknowable
You were special and beautiful
and why couldn’t I see it
Isn’t that sad
and the pain you carry,
is it for me?
Our hearts are feverish
Does that define love?

What defines love? Each can only define what it means to him or her. For me it is something indefinable and yet I will continue to express in the hope of capturing its essence.
Take care friend and have a very merry Christmas!

You are a poet who wears his heart on his sleeve, that, my friend,
is never a bad thing!
If we pour more Love into Passion and more Passion into Love, then the questions are answered for us.
Love & Light,
Joseph
Does that define love?
It surely defines passion, but maybe love requires a little more.

This is a wonderful bittersweet poem, Dale
