Analysis of Flood Of Love
erupts abruptly
like abrupt volcano
in the red chambers of the heart
down the walls of the soul
and steams all the blood
senses race like horses
the whole body warms high
the mind floods like flood
the vision of heaven draws nigh
ecstasy of life ripens
and floods floods floods
erupts abruptly
