Could This Be Love?

Emotions are threatening upon me –
To rape the feelings I helplessly felt.
And has arrested my threshold line of romance –
Where chaste gentlemen are overpowered beyond reason.

I feel your furnace and quake within –
Burning my blood to faint.
Drowning the burnt vapour drops –
Sparing only those locked in self-controlled refuge.

Over two decades I couldn't love a lady –
Not of illness doing or lack of luck's rule.
In good faith I don't know why –
Could it be how I don't know?

This sensual culture growth –
At the expense of my Christian youth;
In sharp contrast contrary to my belief –
Could this be love or myth?
