EROS NO MORE
On a bright sunny day, without warning, love fell on me
It was all the glory of heaven and blessings from thee,
Into those green eyes, it was surely "shiprah" - the beautiful one
Without a doubt, it was "puah" - the splendid one,
In my heart I heard "gershom" - a stranger there
But the canticles of love were so beautiful, I did not care
With a racing pulse and a curious but contrite heart
This epitome, I thought, for me, must not depart
My life it seem was long in "horeb's" - desolate place
If this is true love, oh! Surely , I must taste!
Intrinsically without delay we became entwined and intertwined
The power of love blocked reality and kept us so blind,
The contriteness of our hearts made no demands or expectations
But love's seraphic-flame diminished and led to our separation,
My levirate-marriage was a struggle with so much pain
Now I am sure, for me, this eros love, never again
The essence of love is freedom in this life
Irrespective of whether we are called, husband or wife...
