Especially Illusion

Have you noticed
Those in love
Especially drawn to travel?

Why is it that
Love's excitement
Is so readily matched up
With an equally unknown destination?

As we scurry with new lover
To mysterious ports
Might we be telling our Self
Something of import?

Pretty strong suggestion that
At the height of passion
Nothing is impossible

Especially illusion
