Love drifts in an array

Love drifts in an array
it ties us and binds us
it in the wide open
surrounds us inside and out
gives us strength to carry on
an infinite cause
that has no boundaries
everlasting peace
abundant pleasure
guiding us into an oblivious
heaven -
or so we think -
love grabs us with the nails of its claws
it sinks them deep within hearts
waiting, waiting, till the day it can
with its mighty ripping tear asunder
all that it was written to be,
passion, desire, surrender
lies begin to fill our veins
with the poison spewed from
once sweetly spoken phrases.
till finally fate reaches out
with its hand so large and black
and pulls into despair
our hearts, our souls, our spirits
with once words of delight
oh foolish, foolish is the one
that believes, that the world
spins on love, and that is all we need.
