Erotomania-A Delusion Of Love Poem by Dr Hitesh Sheth

Erotomania-A Delusion Of Love

Rating: 4.4


A moth or an innocent boy
Or incessantly talking toy
Caught helplessly
In a nature’s ploy:
Thought flame loves me
Thought dame thinks of me
Thought ma’am cares for me.
All the while
The flame
with a flickering smile
burning in a opaque
lamp of guile
with a global
all devouring vision
and feeding with oil of treason
Saw a moth adamant on
self sacrificing mission

The hypnotized moth
went near
a flame with glee
and made love making
earnest plea
And the cunning flame
Gladly reply
Yeah.

Flame knew moth had
Erotomania- A delusion of love
Soon he would be devoured
As hyena devours dove

Then,
Alluring flame-an enticing threat
Beckoned him for a embraced great
Then licking the moth with
A tongue of death
She sucked away
His laboring breath.

Lo! Comes
One more moth
on the trot,
Attired in a martyr’s coat,
Burning in a heartrending
passions hot,
Bubbling like a
love stewed broth;
Trying to cross
A death filled moat
In a love tiled
porous boat,
While vainly trying
to remain afloat

The hypnotized moth
went near
the flame with glee
and made love making's
earnest plea
And the cunning flame
Gladly reply
Yeah!

Yeah, this one is great, explaining the facts of life, when someone really loves a person and ends up in tragedy.

A beutiful tale of life Spun around a golden light Told in enchanting verse, But, Doctor, you make me say You Too! Why a woman Always a flame - Have You forgotten the sordid tales Where married men have lured Innocent wide eyed girls Daughters too subjucated by threat It is not man or woman But, the evil fire of passion Uncontrolled and unnatural Which mostly arises from the ashes Of Inferiority, Love spurred Curdled and turning life sour! Evil has no gender - It only has a perpetuator. Awareness of the predator Created among the vulnerable May slowly put this evil on stay!
