Prison of Love

For Becca

Bound am I to this Prison of mind.
Forever remaining in this state of being.
O Cupid, you may be forever blind,
But forever her will I be seeing.

This image that I can not shut out,
And my heart leaps at the continual sight,
Seated in the eye of the mind, I pout,
And cry, and sadness o'ertakes my might.

O for her love, 'tis beyound desire,
Obsession, burning deep within my soul,
Great Oceans of Neptune cannot contain this fire,
Except by the LORD, whom to my soul, does console.
