This Chaotic State

By John Aldred

Love, that emotion that muddles the mind
Plays havoc with the appetite
Has the eyes viewing only halo's
And the blood begging for an intimate touch.
Catastrophic to the daily round
As one floats from task to task.
Wiping the mind of all but the desired embrace
Called love.
Would you, could you join me
in this chaotic state?
