A Prolonged State of Madness
___________________

I've come to the conclusion
that when one is affected by
lust, they are merely experiencing
what equates to Temporary Insanity,...
while Those Infected With
Love, are suffering A Prolonged
State of Madness.

T'is a Unique Madness to be
sure,..but a Madness none the
less. The kind that gets into your
head and festers a while..offering
moments of joy ultimately followed
by eternities of Doubt, and Fear
of Abandonment.

Such Madness can be best described
with the Analogy of a Man who is
sent off into the Desert starving, and
given nothing more than Water with
which to sustain his Hunger.
While he might momentarily feel a
sense of fullness, in the end he remains
starving and Dies Ignorant of his
Mortal Plight.

I've tried (time and again) to shed
myself of this Madness, but to no
avail!..For I am the Worst of Lovers.
I am the Lover addicted to his starvation,
who feels most content in the Desert..
wandering aimlessly with a belly full
of Water,...Mind Infected.
(Unaware of my Souls Abandonment.)
