Monsoon Fling

Perhaps it is an illusion
I run after.
I wish to find an answer
in the sense of acceptance-
one sense different from compromise
-and hold onto the comfort
you provide,
even if it's temporary and fickle.
Otherwise I may lose
the importance of life!
Forgiving is a virtue,
so is ignorance-
of the pain you present
in the flashes of pleasure.

This is not a love poem
nor one of sentiment.
