THE MARK OF LOVE

I bear the mark of love

It is imprinted in the essence of who I am

I dwell in a trance were I’ve found bliss

In this place I am at ease

This mark of love transcends every inch of my being

It grips every inch of my existence

Like a shadow it ever reveals its presence

I am under its immense pressure

My heart is controlled by seeking its pleasure

The mark of love forever yarns for another

It craves the touch of another lover

It lingers on in a state of restlessness

That will only be quenched by the kiss of the one

This mark of love remains the blueprint

It maps out the role I will internalize

Until its ultimate quest has been realized

Its quest is to find the beating heart of another

That beats in rhythm and shares the melody it does

I bear the mark of love

It forever yarns to finish its quest

And find the heart that will be the place it finds rest
