What This Is

What this is is LOVE
This is passion undefined
This is a fantasy made reality
This is pure and simple ecstasy

What this really is is an OBSESSION
A delusion of the mind
The daydreams of a recluse
A sick fascination fully defined 

What this is is an ILLUSION
A long sought after oasis
A mirage in the distance
A trick on the mind

What this is an EMOTION
This is a cry within the dark
A chemical reaction in the body
An undefined clenching of the heart

What this is is RELIGION
This is a sinner's joyous salvation
A saint's desperate call
A heretic's long awaited fall

What this is PHYSICALITY
A touch upon the skin
This is a breathy sigh
This is a rough and desperate touching

What this is REALITY
This is humanity's rise and fall
This is smiles and laughter and tears from crying
What this is is LIFE
