Its the sweetest agony and the fiery temptation
that causes a man to strive for more.
A pot of simmering ecstasy and hottest desire.
Painful need and utmost joy is its strange
and wonderful spell upon my mind.
Its a powerful contradiction of feelings.
The confirmation of all that the mournful
heart hopes to find.
Its the soothing source of solace for the soul
and the torturer of the mind's thoughts.
And love is that all consuming and undeniable
force upon a man's life that makes him whole.
Donavon Scott Vinson
