Love wretches the body: The wondering
What is the spark in usThat stems from the first glance
Of one who radiates what we seek
Such power
Greater than all can wield
Existent simply in the presence of the other
Many words have been said
We have toiled millennia away
Asking the very question
And it really does not matter how
Or why
We plainly open ourselves to it
How does it work?
Why does it happen?
What does it mean?
It may be science that
Ruins all poets ramblings
By discovering our chemical reaction
I will forever know
That while chemicals may be a part
There will always be the spark
The spark that takes hold of our gut
And gives out on our knees
And makes even the most eloquent incoherent
The spark controls us all
And we are only to accept it
Or conceal ourselves from all society
Forever more
