654. Somehow

Somehow the issues weren’t so important
Life tossed so freely upon a crumpled sheet
The scent of perfume overpowered the senses
Logic lost in a place where passions meet
History rewritten because of a simple smile
Gentle touches never to touch such character
Things once black and white become tainted grey
Actions of the heart all impossible to defer
Misgivings forgotten within passion’s grasp
The thrill of the moment overpowering the mind
Beating hearts engaged as but one entwined being
Understanding true meanings is difficult to find
Yet minutes do pass as do feelings once grand
Memory seems short when the present is past
Love has no meaning in a world of pleasure
Feelings once intense never meant to last
