Love Struggles

I searched my heart over the years,
I reached its deepest looking for you,
I felt its whispers through my ears,
And my mind attesting to what I do.

Betwixt my heart and mind a feud.
My logic debated the issue as futile,
Condemning it as buoyant and lewd,
Labeling it worthless and mercantile.

I did struggle to control its convexity,
Your strong love invaded with clout
The heart that suffered its perplexity,
And effaced every wonder and doubt.

I’m proud to be, in you, a true lover,
Who arose to the occasion and won.
I’m glad you’re my shield and cover,
Thus, my wandering years have gone.
