Is this all?
Just a grain of
thought
That makes your mind
go round
Giving rationale to
your whole dream world
Sweeping you in its
enchanting abyss
Swoosh you go in its
clutch
Liberating yourself
In its nest
Is this all?
Just a grain of love
That you so wishfully
desire
To sway you in its
mesmerizing dance
As it excites your
inner cores
Freeing your soul’s scuff
And surrender
To love

So sad with just a grain of love.. maybe a weakness to build on?
