I Am In Love

I am dejected. I am depressed.

Yet resurrected and sailing the crest.

Why this elation, mixed with deflation?

What explanation? I am in love.

Such conflicting questions rise around in my brain:

Should I order cynanide or order champagne?

Oh, what is this sudden jolt?

I feel like a frightened colt, just hit by a thunderbolt.

I am in love. I knew the odds were against me before,

I had no flair for flaming desire,

But since the gods gave me you to adore,

I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire,

So come and enlighten my days and never depart.

You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart,
