    Poem Commentary

    This is exactly how I felt when I wrote this. It's crazy what a simple attraction can do to a person. This one came so naturally.

    Bittersweet Poison

     Like the arrow that strikes
    My heart doesn't stand a chance
    Though slow and torturous you might be
    You will drive me mad until I succumb

    Pain and pleasure in my veins
    Hot and cold all over me
    My breath is slowly getting shorter
    My heart will surely be crushed

    Must you take me over
    In such an agonizing way
    Can't you be the sword
    And quickly claim my life

    Why do you leave me wanting
    What I clearly can never have
    Yet you leave me pining slowly
    A victim of your sweet death

    I didn't mean to make you feel that way, pain and then joy, sounds like parent night.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
