Love Maniac Poem by hajara abdul khader

I can see somebody strolling down the street,
A dazed look in his face and a rose in hand.
It takes nobody to say that he's there to meet
A sweetheart with mischief in her eyes and....

Look, here goes the love maniac
Strutting all the way in lilac,
Singing a tune to the night
And giving a leap at her sight.

She's the deepest tone of his heart music
Whence comes the desire in his starry eyes,
That burns him out and makes him feel sick,
Yet cools him all over like cubes of ice.

Look, here goes the love maniac
Strutting all the way in lilac,
Singing a tune to the night
And giving a leap at her sight.

He bounces all along with streaks of pleasure,
Kicking away stones in his path to leisure,
Reaches her door with joy that knows no measure,
But sees him by her side and fumes with pressure.

Look, here goes the love maniac
Strutting all the way in lilac,
Singing a tune to the night
And giving a leap at her sight.
