Fading

this is a simple love poem looking into mind and virtue

My emotions do not control my thoughts
So my thoughts do not control my emotions
My intensions are conscious wise
And my honesty avoids slandering
I cannot be blind to see love when the blind can
My deeds bow to my faith
For the serpent is wise but cannot here the melody.
The cannon blast of confusion is unexpected
So the beauty I see rapidly fades
The visual effect of the soul is greater than the mind
A lie is without evidence
A fair exchange in the vales
And the shadows are motion to the body
We rise in the same struggle
But revise in our deep sleep of eternity
Words are not deeds
And deeds are not always justified.
So young it seems
Yet we burn in passion.
