Once And Again Poem by ObiGod Chidi CC

AGAIN

You that once stunned me bore me.

Once I looked, you were beautiful;
And I looked again, you're not.

Once I heard you, I was entranced;
Again I heard you and I'm full of doubts.

I smelled you once, what an aroma!
And I smelled again, I hold my breath.

I touched you once, you were perfect.
I touched again and you are flawed.

I tasted you once, you're the sweetest.
And I tasted again, the sweet has soured.

Where did they all go? The feelings:
Has familiarity conjured novelty away?
Who has made our burning heart freeze?

Infatuation is like the fire of a wizard,
It burns without a fuel to hold it long.
And lust with its glittering spell
Is like the enchantment of a white witch.

Time is a scale
Upon which I weigh all senses.
Again and again my scale will dance
To shake off the magic from my organs;
If I loved you once, I'll love you again.
