The aura of life pervades me with peculiar feelings,
Longing grieves me
Over idle time -hours of leisure
Oblivious of reality;
This aching in my bones, all joints…
My blood boiling,
Boiling on this sight
All for the malaise of my brain,
With deep panting breaths
With strength as if to draw any beauty and charm.
Helpless to control it, my heart’s…
Passion so intense with inner desires,
Desires of weakness and passion
Have absorbed me, overwhelmed me,
I’m a mortal unable to abate passion.
