When two people
Transcend their personalities
And feel as one
For the other
For the One,
These people become locked:
They are locked in
Each other – forever.
Locked in mind and thought,
Locked in feelings
Felt by all.

Should these feelings
Be not under control
They are in love.
But if feelings remain
In their control
They still can love,
Though love in control
Is friendship.

Love whose control is lost
Is Love, whose victims
Can be victims to more than
The Love.

Victims to pain;
Victims to all their
Minds may be deprived of.
Victims – insane with
Love.

But Love’s insanity
Is only insane
To those not there.
Once there,
Love’s pain
Can be a driving force.

Driving one to elation.
Driving one to the grave.
