Love Or Lust? ! Poem by Ayokunle Adeleye

In my belly are butterflies flying -
The peace within is dying;
Comportment is going down the sink -
Of sanity I am at the brink

Concentration is declining;
My awareness of my environment is tiny.
About her I cannot stop to think -
Of her love I am eager to drink

Right now I am easily downed in a swallow
Weakened by what can only be shallow
Of heightened emotions I stink
And it IS hightime I had a rethink

Yet I know how I feel:
In front of her I should kneel
Still she says only in my dream
Will we EVER become such a team!

But back in the days of recon
Of acceptance I was certain
Now that such confidence is gone
Clearly, it IS Time to ascertain

Yet distinguishing is a Herculean task
Even though it is a must
Hence like Crown of Honour I ask
'Is this love or lust? '
