Being Infatuated With Love Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

Being infatuated with love
many battles have been won and lost
from Adam who had lost paradise
due to his love for Eve
and king David who had nearly lost his kingdom
for his adornment of Bathsheba
and in all the stories and fables
that has got to do with love
there is always a price to pay

as was the case with the poor Samson
who had lost his hair, sight and strength
for being intrigued with the lovely Delilah
and Napoleon would have conquered the world

for his Josephine
and Romeo and Juliet died in each other’s arms
when they broke the family vendetta.

A thousand ships did sail
for the beautiful Helena
and love does take control over lives
and the great Anthony did fall
for the love of Cleopatra

and there is the story of the love of Barrack
and Angelique
that did shock the whole of France.

Love does have a part to play
in all the intricate scenes of life
and it’s something that is both wonderful
and mighty to behold.
