Not an ordeal, no, not a slow walk in the sunlight <br />After a long melancholy night; <br /> <br />Not a trial by fire after getting wet in the rain <br />Stepping over puddles and watching pain <br />Plop in to the swirling water <br />And waiting, watching long after. <br /> <br />I thought love was an emotion, strong affection; <br />One that overrid all objection and dejection; <br /> <br />Not a melancholy metaphysical madness <br />Not a surreal, sentimental sadness. <br /> <br />I thought love was an emotion, an emotion <br />That it was just another poetic notion <br /> <br />When feelings your body do betray <br />Emotion tries to flee clear away. <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-thought-love-was-an-emotion/
