Love Is Vexing Poem by Phil Mason

Love is vexing....


How does one deal with the 'complicated relationship'?
How do you deal with a love that carries burdens?
I have no idea,
though,
In many ways,
none of this is really new ground for me.

In my younger days,
and in other more profane assignations,
none of this was as
troublesome as where find myself today.

Today the problem is that I love,
Something I never expected.
I Did not look for love, but I found it
unexpectedly.

In my my younger days, I was a pig, simply looking for release.
Release is easy enough to secure.
Love is much much more complicated.
Today I am roiling in complications
And I lack the means to fix the problem.
All this is unsettling, vexing, and troublesome.
Is there a solution to this conundrum?

Nothing fits
Nothing makes any sense
Nothing seems resolvable
But it's where I am.
