Love Poem - Feeling Unbearable Pain when Someone Leaves

Screaming hurt

Forging rivers fiery and cold

Through a long deserted soul.

A monster mind

Gleefully smashes aside

An eternity of mist-encased love

Craving the ecstasy found only

In echoing wells of self inflicted despair.

Downward

In a flurry of gleaming perverted pride

Ego rides high on the corroded shoulders of a neon god.

Pain and passion entwined in agony

Dance endlessly to the tune of a counterfeit promise

Mocking the faithful pledge of fidelity unto demise.

The colourful, carefree ribbons of truth and trust

Disintegrate in billowing clouds of fragrant poison

Choking the light and denying a homeward glance.

Pungent tears honey-sweetened by all-consuming grief

Stream through the shattered dreams cluttering the soil

From which a united identity once sprang

Ah, but you, you unmindful one

You understand but feign weighty demands

And instead embezzle enchanting delights

From a sorceress of Delphi magnitude.

She is charmed to win your tainted allegiance

Before dispatching you to a teeming foyer

Of similarly encouraged gigolos.

Misery puffed with the power of offended purity

Awakens to the clarion call of vengeance’s appeal

It bonds with disenchanted triumph

And the glories of prior place.

Finding solace in the plunder of the victor’s spoils
