Love's Obssession

Contributor: Brihintha Burggee

- -
I'm the mad lover of love,
Of Cupid's bow and Jove's dove.
Slay my head off for so, but,
There's a clown in rags that never
stops laughing at the ticking
clock that heralds Grim's arrival.

Let the Montagues and the Capulets know!
He is washing off history on the
moon's lover.
And lo', a forbidden apple
has sprung again.
Jove shall rewrite the last chapter!
