We all have one true desire, whether we want to admit it out loud or keep it to ourselves, it is to be loved. No, to be truly loved unconditionally. When I read the poem, ” An Evil Spirit” from the book of Love, it reminded me, while I am search for my life partner as the Mad Dater, How I missed all the desires that true love can invoke.
An Evil Spirit~ Michael Drayton
An evil spirit, your beauty haunts me still,
Wherewith ( alas) I have been long possess’d,
which ceaseth not to tempt me to each ill,
Nor gives me once,but one poor minute’s
rest:
In me it speaks, whether I sleep or wake,
And when by means, to drive it out I try,
With greater torments then it me doth take,
And tortures me in most extremity;
Before my face, it lays down my despairs,
And hastes me unto a sudden death;
Now tempting me, to drown myself in tears,
And then in sighing, to give up my breath;
Thus am I still provok’d to every evil,
By this good wicked spirit, sweet angel
devil.
Beautiful. What say You?
