Mysterious and captivating

Words used to describe love

Misunderstood and torture, are better ones I think

Questions flitter through my mind

As I ponder why we love.

And in the end I think, it’s torture sent from above.

We are drawn to some, repelled by others

Beg for attention, yet watch as they choose another.

Wondering why we still stay around

When hopes are dashed into the ground.

What makes one stay? To continue to try

When everything goes south, and your hurting inside?

It’s a spark, a mysterious allure

That draws you to the fire, that must be it for sure.

You meet them, you speak

Begin to think you’ve found what you seek

Your spellbound and hooked

With just a simple look.

You act a fool, learning while you go

But as you do, there’s always more to know.

You try to plumb the depths

Of the mystery before your eyes

But your in for a rude awakening

And a disappointed surprise.

They mysteries go on and on

Down the rabbit hole of the soul

Deeper than any can ever go

And in the end you finally know.

You can never understand them

No matter how you try

There’s always more to learn

It always leads to surprise.

The depths remain hidden

Shrouded in cavernous pockets

Beyond all hope of reaching the end

Your quest now lies forgotten.
