Smitten Poem by Andreas Simic

If I was a kitten
Maybe I wouldn't be so smitten
It's as though I've been bitten

There is no chance
Of romance
Maybe under a different circumstance

Though it seems she was heaven sent
And I feel the urge to relent
It would likely lead me to repent

Don't know why the attraction
Am I looking for some sort of satisfaction
Help me Lord to inaction

For I know not why there is this thing
Leading me to ponder a fling
Knowing it will only grief bring

Yet there is this temptation
Seeking some sort of revelation
Perhaps providing a piece of information

But alas with all my will
I bring a chill
To that part of me seeking a thrill
