The wayward ways of love - just one more contribution to *What is love?* challenge...
Sighing and dying for your sake
I languish in my hell of love
but do it gladly, since I know too well
how fortunate I am to suffer for your sake,
you being what you are, a goddess,
not of love but of the force behind it,
the motivation, the creation and the cause,
a queen of beauty but combined with feelings,
all a trembling tenderness of sensitivity,
a cluster abyss of intoxication
wondrously consisting of too much of everything,
a hopeless overwhelmingness
of beauty above all
to which we all must fall
in adoration and dependence
and the ultimate addiction
to the ultimate ideal
of indefinability.
