Strange Love
Strange love
In depth of which I dived
And now want to strive
For it.
This love –
Cureless spider bite,
Caught me without a fight
In web.
Such pleasant bite
Like drug injection
That lasted less than fraction
Of a second.
But side effect
Can't let me go.
I am bewildered by the flow
Of love.
The weird feeling
Compels to contemplate
About my current state.
Is that disease?
I am addicted
Despite that love brings anguish
Making my soul languish.
Am I a masochist?
Maybe I am,
But love is morphine also:
It paralyzes pain and sews
Wounds.
Strange love
My heart begets.
It blooms inside and lets
Me stay alive.
