Love Affair

Distant voices rising and falling in the rain, aware of the trouble their love may bring,

Ignited with passion, a force of love they tried to ignore but this is deeper than a fling,

Satisfaction sat in a distance as they both recited their vows in the faces of other people,

Temptation rises more than it settles, heavily weighing them down; feeble,

Rising to speak on their most desirable inner feelings is a whisper in their ear,

Avoiding conflict as they secretly indulge in their impetuous love affair,

Careless actions motivated by desire, a surrender to lust,

Trust makes a smart man vulnerable as forgiveness is a matter to discuss,

Ignorance inspires a blind eye to what is evidence of an unfaithful companion; indecent,

Objection sits at their core as they’re discovered, neither apologetic but vehement

Nevertheless, a man in love will let go of a heart that no longer belongs to him, not with hate but with a love that doesn’t allow a bitter soul to rule
