A Trembling Tear Poem by John Sensele

Love on my mind
Doubt in my heart
Hours to ruminate and find
The heart from which I can't depart

Whenever and wherever I pretend to resist
The magnet that makes me the target
Muses insist
Cupid's arrow should hate to forget to get

In my dreams
In my fickle thoughts
As my heart screams
To cut out enamoured votes

Cast without my volition
To render my heart helpless
In the face of the pull the love motion
Steers asking me to comply unless

The heart torn into
Should spin and spin in a labyrinth whose exit
Love ensures can't renew
Its friendly posture pulpit

Until my heart says yes
To an adventure I fear
May spell the doom stress
That metamorphoses into a trembling tear

Whose ramifications and consequences
Could turn my placid life upside down
In the wake event sequences
Depicted when my snow white heart turns brown.
