by Sasami

But the endless question moves through her mind,
"Is it love or just something else I feel?"
And her doubts keep her in such a tight bind,
Robbing her of perceptions of worlds real,
Leaving her in a cell with mental seal,
Enforced by the demons of her psyche,
Appetite restrained at every meal,
Chained to walls of stone made without some key.

It is love that is not taken lightly,
Lest it become vengeful and quite untrue,
But it burns constant, like a star brightly,
Always hopes, always happy, never blue.
From amidst the depths of heart, it is there,
In those who seek it or not, fiery glare.
