"Love is Greater than Me"

by David L. Davis - Summer '98

Love is the Force, which kills me -
bring me to my very knees -
and when I beg it to release me -
it consumes all of me!

For without its substance where would I be? -
like the planet Earth overran by the deep blue Seas -
where would I stand and who would stand near me? -
it would be far better, if I surrender to thee!

Forbid the thoughts that I wrest locked within my Brain -
for if "Love" were a two-edged sword, tightly grasped in my hands -
that I may use it to conquer all the Dragons in my land -
but nay, "Love is the Master," tis far Greater than me!
