Love's Deceit

Poem heard at the end of the movie ATL. You can see where it came from in the video clip after the poem. Much Love and God Bless. Enjoy:


pleasure turns to the pain 
lessons learned from the strain 
questions burned in my brain.. 
about whether love is humane 
in its touch. 
these thoughts are like salmon swimming upstream 
in the tears of your deceit. 
fighting the current hurt that kills more than is created by the chaos 
of our intertwined emotions. 
chaotic because the anchor of Erros' arrow has been plucked 
from the vessel of my undying infatuation 
separation not as simple as the distance between us 
my mind no longer possessed by demons 
that have been the overseers of my enslavement to your lies 
the seeds of these lies rooted so deeply 
they have cracked the foundation of what we once shared 
allowing the faith in us i had sealed inside 
to gush out like a river 
ripping the image of our future together from my thoughts 
as violently and as brutally as if it were a child 
being taken from its mothers arms 
i'm left surrounded in darkness 
but i refuse to be swallowed by it 
my loneliness like the night air 
invisible to the eye 
obvious to the touch 
it is cold uncomfortableness 
yet if i could do it all over again 
i'd do it in the same skin i'm in 
to lay down and let love die 
just stay down and let love lie? 
no, no.. not i 
id stay around and let love fly 
even though i have seen its darkest form 
deceit 
nothing else could taste this warm
or feel this sweet.
