This Amorous Affliction

by Joe Cramer

The woman that I love as I do now

Has captured my heart of hearts, this I bear.

Her love encompasses me, I know not how.

I go to her love, whether here or there.

This amorous affliction of my heart,

You reach out to touch me, hold my being

From your true love anew, it doth now start.

I see your eyes, in all I am seeing,

In unrequited passions of new day.

A feeling of love that I cannot explain

My love for you grows in every way,

This fever hotly growing in each vein.

On this true path to you I desire

Your sweet love lifts me higher, yet higher.

I know this feeling. I get each time I look into my wifes eyes. Very good work.
