So Madly in Love

Ardent Love …
Is a madness,
An addiction,
That
Causes blindness and deafness
With
No rhyme, no reason
No time, no season
Totally Emotional
And
Not slightly Intellectual
Leave alone Practical
In fact, quite Nonsensical…
I love you…
But I don’t quite know why
It’s not your kindness nor your goodness
Nor your piousness
Do you lie?
Maybe not even your wealth or looks
Certainly not your dedication to the books
And
Maybe you even make me cry…
It’s just the way I feel…
You make my head reel
Problem: How long will it last
Before this feeling says Goodbye?
Then it’s just hurt and sadness
Or
A passionate hate to fill the emptiness…
It is like being on heat…
An animal?
Now I’m insulted and quite ashamed
Oh no, no control over my own self
For emotions untamed
Cummon, Get hold of yourself!
The Deen prescribes the middle path
Make that list of attributes you admire
Read that Istigaraah
And
Pray that your Nafs’s desire
With
Those seducing Whispers
Doesn’t land you in the hell-fire!
