It is simple to be in love
The difficulty in finding one fast fades
As time peels off the scales of emotions
From the eyes and heart
And logic and reality set in
Before love’s long awaited arrival
All was dreamy vogue to come true
Beauty, lust, affection, fashion
Were all to see and long for
Time has brought love
And with it an attendant
Array of effective temptations
In the presence of reality and logic
Conscience suggests a balance of love and lust
A way out of a deeply desired quagmire
Principles are reduced to laws
Promises are tagged with conditions
The body vibrates expectantly
For short term benefits
While emotions and logic
And reality
Worry about the effects
Of today on tomorrow
Of laws on principles and conditional promises
I hear it is the phase of reality
The war that rages within so long as
Decision lacks or lingers
