All This
~~~
Love
Flung by Cupid’s poisoned dart
Has fallen the strongest nations
Reason for the war to start
The passionate complications
Sacrament to human heart
Bed chamber romances
With kingdoms at stake
Lost in stolen glances
Hearts prone to mistake
And blind to their chances
What price is not ready-paid
For that great singularity
To rue the decisions made
When passion poisons clarity
Betrayal becomes the blade
Given this, all one can own
Entire countries in a day
Civilizations over-thrown
Kings throwing thrones away
All for this one thing alone
Love
